Hello, long time lurker, first time poster! I recently came back to the apartment after a long holiday and the only thing in the fridge was a sack of potatoes so a produce run was a must. My budget goal was $30 but I'm fine with going over by the five dollars (more than likely caused by the croissants and pesto both of which were on sale/marked down) since I know I will eat everything I got and it's mainly produce. The blueberries, cara cara oranges, and colby jack cheese were on also sale with a coupon. Not the craziest savings I have ever got but it feels like a fair amount for the price. No snacks or sweets this time as I have plenty leftover from the holidays. I typically eat something savory for breakfast when I do eat breakfast so the plan is to have slices of the fritatta with the leftover smothered chicken and gravy on top of rice.
To be honest I could probably get close to two weeks out of this but I just never know for sure. I know that this kind of seems like a random assortment of vegetables so I listed where I planned to use them so you could see how it all sorts itself out and I hope whoever's reading this can gain some inspiration for their own dinner 🙂

Great meal plan. Everything sounds tasty.
This is an awesome haul.
I love the Roundys eggs. Must be a nod to Futurama.

Nice! I see a markdown score. Congrats on that! My husband and I play spot the tag for these and clearance/closeout. Whoever scores the highest savings for the week gets one free night of no dishes 😂. Your menu looks pretty good too. Looks like a good trip
Great looking meal plan, what is “salsa falsa”?
Kroger has some really good manager specials. I make it a habit of popping in a couple of times a week if I am driving by one.
Fantastic haul! Smothered chicken and potatoes sounds great
0 tax 🫠 what is the tax rate where you are is there one? 🤔
Love that you are so organized and mission specific with a menu plan!
Unlike you, I’m totally random and shop 2-3 time per week at the Krogers a 5 minute walk away. I’m single M65 who cooks well, eats anything and have the time to shop sales, coupon/discounts, closeouts, and clearance foods.
Last week I bought 8 items for $19.34 – a savings of $17.98 from the regular cost of $37.32. This is enough for 5 meals.
