This is our best week yet! We grocery shopped at Publix and Winn Dixie this week. So read on to see our $35 weekly meal plan, grocery list and grocery haul for this week.
This week’s grocery haul does not disappoint. I cannot believe all the food we got this week. For some reason or other, there are lots of great pasta deals this week. I still have items in our freezer from the last few weeks. Publix is still not as heavily stocked as before the hurricane, but there are great deals going on.
Like last week, I will include our family’s weekly meal plan, grocery list and grocery haul for $35. I will add the cost of items we bought along with the coupons I used too.

Our total grocery bill this week came to exactly $35.32 for our family of 3. Below is what our weekly meal plan for breakfast, lunch and dinner will be as well as, my son’s lunches that he takes to school and my husband’s separate breakfasts. All together, it is a total of about 55 meals.
FIRST, LET ME SAY THAT IN ORDER TO KEEP OUR GROCERY BILL SUPER LOW WE DO THE FOLLOWING:
1. Shop at different stores. Â We mainly shop at Publix but also frequent Aldi, Save-A-Lot, Winn-Dixie or Walmart when meat sales are good.
2. Our son is also a picky eater and does not eat the same meals as us different times during the week.
3. We stock up on beverages, snacks, staples etc. when we have extra money available or especially when there is not a great sale on meat.
4. I do make quite a few items from scratch.  Especially snacks for my son’s lunch, bread, muffins, soups, sauces, etc.
5. We do not include non-edible items in our grocery bill. When I do our weekly meal plan and grocery list, I do not include trash bags, dish soap or laundry detergent etc. on our list.
For more ways that we save at the grocery store read this past post.
