Our $48 Weekly Grocery Haul Meal Plan
Well since Thanksgiving is coming this week, I do not have much room in my freezer for much more food. Our freezers are so full from all the deals over the last few weeks months. Last week, we were able to get free groceries (cream cheese) by strategically using coupons and I was able to get (6) more bars of cream cheese for free (not in picture). I will be going back on Monday to get our free turkey for Thanksgiving. Throughout the year, Publix has opportunities where you can earn $5 Publix gift cards through rebates.  Below I will share our $48 Weekly Grocery Haul Meal Plan for the week of November 20.

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 63 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.

If you would like to see some of our grocery store hauls from the last couple of weeks, here they are:
As I always say, make sure that the weeks when grocery sales and coupons aren’t spectacular, use your grocery money to stock up on staples and meats that are on sale. There have been weeks in the past where I have bought nothing but meat. I was able to do that since I had a stockpile.
This is the time to utilize all the ways I outlined here to get coupons to save more money on your weekly grocery hauls. Before long, you will be having a $48 Weekly Grocery Haul Meal Plan yourself!
