Meal Planning Shopping Cart Race

This year, I have been trying to do a better job of meal planning. I’ve shared before how the last thing I typically feel like doing after a long day of work is spending an hour in the kitchen, just to then eat and get ready for bed. So I’ve been looking for ways to make it easier – and cheaper – and one of the ways I’ve been doing that is through meal planning!

Every Thursday, I try to outline our dinners for every weeknight of the next week and then create a list of everything needed to make those meals so that I can make my grocery trips short and under budget. Call me crazy, but I’ve actually found that I enjoy the routine of going to the grocery store after I’ve meal planned!

Here’s what our meal plan for this week looked like:

  • Monday: Beef Tenderloin & Shrimp Skewers with Broccoli
  • Tuesday: Salmon with Tomato Pesto and Sweet Potato Fries
  • Wednesday: Taco Salad
  • Thursday: Simple Summer Chicken with Garlic Roasted Cherry Tomatoes
  • Friday: Leftovers :)

Hudson and I got creative this week and decided to see if we could purchase a week’s worth of meals under $100 and in less than 5 minutes. Here’s a little video we made of our shopping cart race!

Yes, I was literally sitting in a cart…and got a lot of interesting looks, to say the least! ;) Haha!

For as long as I can remember, I have been a Giant Food shopper. My mom shopped at Giant when we were growing up and it’s just stuck with my ever since, and for good reason! They have great products at amazing prices. In the past, some of my friends have recommended shopping at other grocery stores or at club stores because of their “great savings,” but I’ve done price comparisons and realized each time that Giant’s savings and convenience outweigh them every time – especially because you don’t have to purchase a membership!

Wanted to share an amazing deal (while supplies last) of P&G products at Giant Food…when you purchase any three of the following P&G products at Giant, you save $20 instantly!

  • Bounty 12 Mega Rolls
  • Charmin Ultra Soft and Ultra Strong 18 Mega Rolls
  • Tide Liquid dDtergent 150 oz
  • Cascade Platinum 52 ct
  • Pampers Super Packs of Baby Dry 64-104 ct, Cruisers 54-92 ct, Swaddlers 62-100ct

I’ve always been a fan of P&G products, but I especially appreciate how they offer fantastic “club” savings with deals like these at Giant!
