and I hope that you guys enjoy it so as
1:03
we get into the groceries if you guys
1:05
want to know specifically what I'm going
1:06
to be using this stuff to make what
1:09
actual meals I'm going to be making with
1:10
the groceries that I bought this month
1:12
make sure you stay through to the end of
1:13
the video and I'm going to give you guys
1:14
a full rundown of the meal plan that I
1:16
did yesterday before doing my grocery
1:18
shopping this is going to be for a full
1:20
4 weeks for a family of four so let's go
1:23
ahead and just dive right into the
1:24
groceries now we'll start over here in
1:26
the corner so I have some cheese for a
1:29
variety of different dishes with' got
1:30
triple cheddar and I believe I have four
1:32
of these as well as the Mexican cheese
1:36
so originally I wanted to just get two
1:38
of the triple cheddar and then I was
1:39
going to get two Kobe Jack but they were
1:42
out of the Kobe Jack for some reason so
1:44
they sent me four triple cheddar but
1:46
that's fine as well I also have eggs
1:48
here for some reason eggs have been
1:50
going out of stock here where I am and I
1:54
don't understand normally I would get
1:55
the 18 pack of eggs but they only have
1:59
the Dozen carton so I just got three
2:01
dozen eggs these are the market side
2:04
cagefree brown eggs so I really like
2:07
these the last time I tried them so I
2:09
got three of those and then in the back
2:11
here we've got heavy whipping cream I
2:14
like to use this to make creamy pasta
2:15
dishes or mac and cheese I also got
2:17
lactose free whole milk for the exact
2:19
same reason but any other time we would
2:21
just use this Almond Breeze vanilla
2:24
almond milk for our juices we have apple
2:27
juice by Great Value in Ocean Spray cran
2:30
watermelon and then in the back there I
2:33
decided to try this one for Noah this is
2:35
the Capri Sun Fruit Punch flavor and
2:38
then we also have the Ocean Spray
2:40
cranberry Elderberry this one is really
2:42
really good and Elderberry is pretty
2:44
good for the immune system so I really
2:46
like the way this one tastes now right
2:48
here in the front for fruit I just got
2:50
one bunch of organic bananas they go old
2:53
quickly so I only got one bunch of five
2:57
and then as we run out I'll just get
2:59
more I got blueberries and strawberries
3:02
we use these for garnishes but I'm also
3:04
going to use the blueberries for like
3:06
waffles muffins things like that and
3:08
then we typically just eat these as a
3:09
snack or to garnish on top of breakfast
3:12
then I also got four of these canned
3:16
biscuits this comes with five in the
3:18
packs which is perfect for our family of
3:20
four and I can just make maybe one of
3:23
these per week so I went and got four
3:25
it's a really quick and easy option for
3:27
breakfast and then back here we also
3:29
have some cinnamon raisin bagels as a
3:31
breakfast option that'll be a quick
3:32
thing and then for lunch I just got some
3:35
bread so if we have turkey sandwiches or
3:38
peanut butter jelly sandwiches for my
3:40
son so we've got the Hardy white
3:42
farmhouse pepp Farm brand and then they
3:44
sent me the butter bread because I did
3:47
do Walmart grocery delivery I actually
3:49
got the potato bread but they were out
3:50
of potato bread all of a sudden so they
3:52
had to send the butter bread instead so
3:55
that's fine this is dairy as well but
3:57
this is sour cream where we're out and
3:59
we're going to need more of that for our
4:01
Mexican style dishes but for vegetables
4:04
I got two packs of the Frozen cut green
4:07
beans to throw in the freezer and then I
4:09
also got one of the maret side fresh
4:12
ones so these ones I can put in the
4:13
fridge and then we can have these before
4:15
they go bad but those two there are to
4:19
put in the freezer so that we'll still
4:21
have some that we don't have to worry
4:23
about going bad although you can also
4:25
freeze these too also got three green
4:28
bell pap peers I got the colorful ones
4:32
for my gumbo and then here I also have
4:36
some roma lettuce that is still on the
4:39
head because it's lasting longer that
4:41
way I can use this for salads for
4:43
Mexican dishes for sandwiches anything
4:46
and then I also have some carrots I got
4:48
carrots for all of my slow cooked meals
4:50
roast um soups all of that good stuff I
4:54
also thought that I ordered some celery
4:57
but I don't see it here so either I
4:59
didn't order it or they were out of it
5:01
or they forgot to send it so that's just
5:03
something that comes with like online
5:05
grocery delivery so I'm still going to
5:06
check to see what happened there here I
5:09
have some hunts diced tomatoes they are
5:12
basil garlic and oregano seasoned these
5:14
are really good for Mexican dishes but
5:16
then in the back here I also got the
5:18
larger cans to put inside of spaghetti
5:21
as well as some tomato sauce I really
5:23
want to begin making my own spaghetti
5:25
sauce so we're going to see and then if
5:28
all those fails we've got some tomato
5:30
and basic garlic pre-made spaghetti
5:34
sauce by Pao I got us some more taco
5:37
sauce for Mexican style dishes and then
5:40
I got this here honey barbecue by
5:43
Buffalo Wild Wings so that we can have
5:45
that when I do like a slow cook bathed
5:48
rib meal on the Sunday I have this here
5:51
this is the cholesterol free Maola corn
5:54
oil for when I make my chicken parm so
5:57
when you do the chicken parm you have to
5:59
bread it and then you have to put it
6:01
inside up some oil more organic sweet
6:04
potatoes for an Advan so that we can me
6:07
prep some more she's only got like a few
6:09
more servings left of this and she
6:11
really liked them so got her some of
6:13
these and then I'll probably make a
6:14
couple of them for us as well and then I
6:17
also had yellow potatoes that I ordered
6:19
last week and we still have some of
6:20
those we were out of jasmine rice in the
6:22
pantry so I'm just going to restock that
6:24
and then we are also going to restock
6:26
fetuccini pasta and spaghetti pasta I
6:29
here I am showing you guys I got two
6:31
packs of this Canadian bacon and I am
6:35
showing you guys this because I wanted
6:37
to explain why I have these really
6:39
really tiny tortillas these are perfect
6:42
for breakfast burritos you just add one
6:46
of the Canadian bacon slices with some
6:48
eggs and then some cheese roll it up and
6:51
dip it in some salsa this is a good way
6:53
to meal preps and breakfast options we
6:56
like these we have one package in the C
6:59
it and I just grabbed two more packages
7:02
these are good all the way through March
7:04
20th so these are good for a little over
7:06
a month so still have to eat the ones
7:08
that we have and I got two more because
7:10
we really like these so we'll have these
7:12
on one day and then on another day I got
7:15
these car balance flower tortillas to
7:17
make some um tackles with so we have
7:20
those three options as well as the lime
7:22
tortilla shells all of that for Mexican
7:25
style dishes now in the back here we
7:27
have two of these jambalaya kits and so
7:31
basically it's just mostly just the rice
7:33
that's already seasoned so it's long
7:35
grain rice with vegetables and spices I
7:39
am going to do that with some beef smok
7:42
sausage so we've got the two beef smoke
7:44
sausage here and then here we have this
7:49
large jumbo pack of smoke sausage for
7:52
our gumbo so we've got two chicken
7:54
broths back there as well as sausage and
7:58
then we'll also throw in some shrimp and
8:00
some chicken breast as well for the
8:02
gumbo here I have lunch
8:06
meat as well as the Smoky turkey
8:09
breakfast sausages these are our
8:11
favorite brand of breakfast sausages
8:13
they cook up really really quickly four
8:16
packs of those to last us and then now
8:18
let's get into the meat that we have
8:20
when I did this I actually meant to get
8:23
turkey breast but I ended up with
8:25
chicken breast because that's just what
8:27
I got I forgot to get turkey instead so
8:29
more chicken breast even though we
8:31
already had
8:32
some and then let's get into the beef
8:34
now so for beef we have some ribs here
8:38
to throw in the slow cooker for Sunday
8:42
and then we have
8:44
some ground beef for our Mexican style
8:48
dishes and then we also have some cube
8:52
steak that'll be really good with gravy
8:54
and rice and then this is the beef roast
8:58
to throw on a cooker with some
9:00
vegetables and some potatoes and then I
9:03
also have a beef brisket here really
9:07
good with cabbage now I also got this
9:11
here pork chops um censor cut and is
9:16
this yeah those are the bone in ones so
9:20
we don't often have these but I used to
9:22
have them as a kid so we'll try those
9:24
again back here for the Poetry I've got
9:27
some chicken legs or chicken drumsticks
9:30
to go with the jambalaya these are the
9:34
thin chicken breasts so that I can have
9:36
this for chicken parm and then back here
9:39
we also have chicken breast tenderloins
9:42
and these are like strips easier to chop
9:45
for the gumbo two packs of large chicken
9:48
wings because I normally just throw
9:50
these in the oven for some baked chicken
9:52
wings was like a side of baked mac and
9:54
cheese or with some potatoes anything
9:57
like that over here I'll show you guys
9:59
some of the snacks that I decided to go
10:01
with this time around some of the snacks
10:03
that I got were not in stock like in
10:05
store and so they're going to be shipped
10:06
they're going to arrive at some point
10:08
today so once they arrive I'll show you
10:10
guys that as well but for now I had
10:14
these last time and they were very good
10:16
these are the better Goods milk
10:17
chocolate salted caramel flavored
10:19
cashews these cashews are so so good
10:23
that's my little snack and then I also
10:25
got a few boxes of liquid IV this is the
10:28
immune support one tangerine flavor has
10:31
nine vitamins and nutrients with vitamin
10:33
C and zinc and then this is the lemon
10:35
lime flavor this one has become my
10:38
favorite flavor it used to be watermelon
10:41
now it's lemon lime then I also got this
10:43
newer one to try this one is a cotton
10:45
candy so we'll see for a dessert option
10:49
to have on a Sunday I decided to try
10:52
this apple crisp I'm going to peel some
10:54
apples to go with this and yeah see this
10:58
tastes pretty good and then the other
11:01
snack I have for myself is this pretzel
11:04
crisp snack so I'll put these inside of
11:07
a pantry container and we'll have that
11:10
Noah also got him a big box of Juicy
11:13
Juice this is a good brand of well I
11:15
don't want to say good brand but it's a
11:17
decent brand no sugar added no
11:19
artificial flavors we've got the berry
11:21
apple fruit punch and grape so a 32 pack
11:25
um so that he'll have something to grab
11:27
out the fridge so really quick I just
11:28
want to show you guys how I did my meal
11:30
planning I just have this little here
11:32
little Journal that I kind of made and I
11:35
have like little tabs in here so if I
11:37
just go right back to the tab where I
11:40
did my meal plan for this month
11:43
basically I just numbered it 1 through
11:46
16 not including the additional Costco
11:48
meals um actually 1 through 17 and I
11:51
just wrote out a list of things that I
11:53
know we wanted to have so for breakfast
11:55
options I just went with Bagels biscuits
11:57
eggs pancakes and sauce sausage so
11:59
pancakes that I can make bagels are a
12:02
good one biscuits that we can make egg
12:04
sausage try to keep it very simple
12:06
cutting out the cereals the sugary
12:09
things like that for lunch I also kept
12:11
it pretty simple we'll do like
12:12
sandwiches we'll do soups and things
12:14
like that so I'm going to be making sure
12:16
that I had to make sure that I got like
12:18
bread lunch meat and things like that
12:20
and then um for dessert I decided to go
12:22
with an apple crisp something sweet
12:24
something simple and something new that
12:26
we haven't tried yet this meal plan was
12:28
so simple and then at the beginning of
12:29
each week I will look at it and just
12:31
pick the four meals that I want to make
12:33
that week and bring those you know
12:36
ingredients up if it's Frozen from the
12:38
deep freezer and put it into the regular
12:41
freezer so this is the list of what I
12:43
have so I just have like tacos as well
12:45
as chalupas baked chicken with baked mac
12:48
and cheese and green beans I have gumbo
12:50
for a Sunday meal chicken breast with
12:53
rice or with pasta noodles I have baked
12:57
chicken legs with some jum
13:00
I have baked chicken with potatoes lots
13:03
of chicken lots of poultry and protein
13:06
but I also got a beef brisket with some
13:09
cabbage for a Sunday meal I had to still
13:12
get some more cabbage because they were
13:14
out so I'll go pick some up I also
13:17
decided to go with a rose beef slow
13:19
cooker meal for a Sunday we got some
13:22
pork loins which is not the very um
13:25
healthy option so I put a little star
13:27
next to that one because CU that one has
13:30
to be replaced with something healthier
13:32
going forward on our meal plan so highly
13:34
don't recommend it I also have some
13:36
cubed steaks that's beef some beef ribs
13:40
I originally had pork so I put a star by
13:42
it and then replaced it with beef so
13:44
that's something you can throw inside of
13:46
the slow cook meal for like sundae also
13:49
have chicken parm on here spaghetti then
13:52
the lasag Costco comes with two so
13:55
that'll be two days and then we also get
13:57
like these Asian boneless chicken like
14:00
these boneless chicken and then we put
14:01
like sesame sauce or orange chicken
14:03
sauce honey sauce like that on it and
14:06
that normally last us for 2 days as well
14:08
as well as a stir fry that will last us
14:10
for a day so what I like to do is make
14:12
sure that I have four meals for like a
14:14
Sunday like dump meal that after church
14:17
or before church I can throw it inside
14:18
of the slow cooker so for those I
14:20
decided to go with the beef ribs which
14:22
I'll throw in the slow cooker with some
14:24
barbecue sauce I decided to go with the
14:26
roast beef which I'll throw in there
14:28
with potatoes and veget vegetables the
14:29
beef brisket which is going to be with
14:31
the Cabbage as well as the gum bone
14:33
which is going to be um chicken broth
14:36
with chicken shrimp and sausage so that
14:40
is how I planned out my meals I kept it
14:42
very simple but it's also going to be
14:44
enough to last us for the entire month
14:46
so I wanted to make sure that I included
14:48
that in here to just show you guys like
14:50
generally how I go about doing my
14:53
purchases and shopping for my groceries
14:55

15:02
little bit more conscious in shopping so

15:06

15:08
options so I try to do my best here let
15:11

15:13
