I got shredded cheese, applesauce, yogurt pouches and cups (on sale!), chicken (x3), butter, sour cream, broccoli, apples, greens, chicken nuggets, pizza, blackberries, guacamole cups, avocado cups, white queso, mandarin orange cups, half and half, red grapes, green grapes, caesar salad mix, and croissants.Īfter a Costco trip, the boxes are the best! Since I stocked up so much at Aldi, I only needed one cartful at Costco. Mac and Cheese ($0.50/box – a great convenience at a low price).SO THANKFUL!Īt Aldi, I got strawberries, blueberries, clementines, bagels, pretzels, ketchup, sausage, grass-fed beef (on sale!), brown sugar, cottage cheese, and cases of: How did I get away with all these groceries for so little? Just before I went to Costco that day, I received an email that included my Costco Reward Certificate. I came home with this after spending $304 on food. :) :) :)Īt the end of the month, I had a chance to go to Costco and Aldi. I ran into Sam’s to get “just a few things” which for us means that I only filled one cart. Mid-February we were in Grand Island for Malachi’s soccer games. I snapped this picture of the groceries I’d gotten with two of our WIC cards and wasn’t able to take pictures at home because all the babies wanted to be held at once since I’d been out. Many of the snack-sized items I got to help supplement our school kids’ lunches ( even the splurges cost less than paying for a school lunch).įour of our foster kids qualify for WIC benefits, which is a huge perk as it provides us with a small amount of fruits, vegetables, cheese, eggs, milk, cereal, juice beans, bread, and formula each month at no cost to us. Sausage, chips, shredded cheese, frozen fruit and corn, maple syrup, honey, fresh greens and spinach, butter, rice, yogurt, cinnamon bread, creamer…Ĭoffee, applesauce pouches, yogurt pouches, peach cups, yogurt cups, half and half, cream, sour cream…Ĭhicken nuggets, carrots, apples, coconut oil, mozzarella, salad mix, frozen tilapia, cantaloupe, granola bites… I spend a solid $731 that day and got home with a great big haul of groceries. Grown-up kids, little kids, Daddy – everyone holding a baby or a little hand… I tried to capture a pic of all of us walking into Costco. How else can we feed 15 people for $32? (Baby opted for his bottle instead of a hotdog.) There are 16 of us now (including wives and a girlfriend) so lunch at Costco was slightly nuts.

It was wonderful to be together, and we headed to Costco after church so we could eat lunch and shop. First, on the first Sunday of the month our entire family was able to worship together in Lincoln (where Asa, Justus, and their wives go to church). We’ll start with a look at my grocery shopping trips this month. Here’s a look at our February 2023 groceries and meals we ate that month!
