My older sister, Brigette, shares her shopping trips and menu plans every week! You can go HERE to see all of her weekly menu plans and you can go HERE to read all about her family!
My husband did the grocery shopping the last two weeks as I was out-of-town, so I’m trying to get back on track and use up the extra things he bought (and get all the junk food out of the house, haha! He also shot two deer while I was away – so I’m pretty happy about all the venison in our freezer.)
