The Costco haul is here! 🛒

This one was a BIG one, so I broke everything down by category: produce, meat, seafood, and more. Some of these are regular staples in our house that we buy pretty consistently, while others are items I was able to stock up on during this trip.

I also included a few miscellaneous purchases at the end that, honestly, probably wouldn’t have made it into my cart during a grocery spend challenge.

Although I won’t be sharing a weekly grocery challenge recap anymore, I do plan to continue sharing what we’re cooking and meal inspo! Let me know if you want me to keep sharing our weekly eats and recipes! ❤️

Behind every smooth week is an extremely thorough Notes app 🗂️✨

A peek inside my brain: weekly meal plans, holiday cookie box logistics, progressive overload workout splits, and to-do lists for literally everything. If it’s not written down in here, it’s not happening!

Tell me: are you a master list-maker, or living on a prayer? 🙋‍♀️
(And let me know if you want to see the NOT-so-organized side of my Notes app next... because it definitely exists 🫣)

Eight weeks of spending less on groceries and rethinking the way we shop. 🛒 Here are my 5 biggest takeaways from our two-month grocery spending challenge!

1. The problem is sometimes how much we’re buying, not what groceries cost.

We can focus on finding cheaper alternatives, but sometimes the bigger issue is overbuying in certain categories. Identifying where you tend to buy more than you actually need can make a huge difference in your spending.

2. You don’t need the most expensive ingredients to make a delicious meal.

Fresh herbs, specialty cheeses, and pricier ingredients add up. Sometimes dried herbs work just as well, Parmesan adds plenty of flavor, or a more affordable cut of meat is all you need. You can make smart swaps without sacrificing what matters to you, whether that’s whole foods, clean ingredients, or buying organic.

3. The foods you choose to eat regularly affect your budget.

I love raspberries and still bought them throughout this challenge! But I’ve also explored more economical fruits like apples, pears, bananas, and clementines. The same goes for protein. Balancing pricier meats and seafood with more affordable options can help lower your overall spending.

4. Stop buying specialty ingredients for one recipe.

Before trying a new recipe, consider whether you’ll use those niche ingredients again or if they’ll sit in your pantry for months. Build meals around the foods you love and your regular pantry, fridge, and freezer staples instead of constantly buying ingredients you’ll only use once.

5. Get creative with what you already have.

This challenge pushed me to use ingredients I’d overlooked and turn things in our freezer into actual meals. Sometimes you don’t need another grocery trip or a new recipe. You just need to take inventory and figure out how to make what you have work together.

Eight weeks later, I have a much better understanding of our grocery habits and practical changes I can carry into our regular routine.

Which of these takeaways resonates with you most? 👇

🛒 Our first grocery haul after 2 months of the grocery spend challenge!

After 8 weeks of using what we had, shopping our own pantry and freezers, and being much more intentional about what we brought into our home, it was finally time for a Target run!

I’ll be sharing what we picked up, but this is just the beginning. 👀 Stay tuned for our Costco haul as well as our final week 8 meals and grocery spending totals, PLUS our grand total for TWO MONTHS of this challenge!

This challenge has completely changed the way I think about grocery shopping. I’m not going back to buying whatever sounds good in the moment, but I’m also ready to have a little more flexibility again. 😂

The goal was never to spend as little as humanly possible. It was to stop wasting what we already had, be more intentional with our money, and figure out a better way to shop for our family.

What do you think our two-month grocery total will be? 👇

At least I was able to laugh about it?😅

The hubris of trying to carry the whole pile in one trip will forever be my downfall. Who else gets humbled the exact second they feel like they’re winning at the productivity game?

Grocery Spend Challenge | Week 7 🛒

Another week under $100! 🙌🏼 But if I’m being honest, I’m starting to get a little antsy to be done with this challenge.

We are almost completely out of protein, and after nearly two months of buying only the bare necessities and essentials, I’m ready for a little more flexibility in my grocery shopping.

I miss being able to pick up a little just because treat here and there. 😂 Not that I’m going back to my old habits of buying whatever sounds good in the moment, because that’s part of what got us into this pickle in the first place!

This challenge has been such a good reminder of how much we already have, how creative we can be with what’s on hand, and how much we can save when we’re intentional about what we buy.

But I also think there’s a balance to be found between being intentional with our spending and allowing ourselves a little room for the things we enjoy.

So, we’re going for ONE MORE WEEK, and then? A much-needed restock, a little more variety, and hopefully a new rhythm for keeping our grocery spending in check without feeling like we’re constantly running out of everything. 😅

Who else is ready to see what Week 8 looks like?! 👀

Tomorrow is my 35th birthday, and instead of asking for flowers, a new purse, jewelry, or something else you might typically expect for a birthday gift, I asked my husband for something a little different: the whole family to join in a top-to-bottom house clean. 🧹🤍

I do this regularly, but there’s something I especially love about when the whole family gets involved and we all work together to declutter, clean up, and reset our spaces.

Here’s how we do it 👇🏻

We start at the very top of our house and work our way all the way down to the basement (because I feel like that’s the natural flow of traffic in our home, especially when things need to make their way to lower levels!).

We go through EVERY room, opening every cabinet, drawer, closet, and storage space. We look for things we no longer need, pull out anything that belongs somewhere else, do a quick tidy, and give each space a little decluttering and refresh.

We’ve tackled three rooms so far, filled a trash bag AND a donation bag, and I’m already feeling so much better. 🙌🏻

We’ll be working on this throughout the rest of the weekend because, realistically, this is usually a MULTI-DAY project for us. I don’t try to squeeze the entire house into one day. We work through it a little at a time until we’ve made our way from the top floor to the basement.

And while I certainly wouldn’t turn down flowers or a little gift, having a home that feels lighter, more functional, and refreshed is a pretty wonderful birthday gift, too. 🫶🏻

When was the last time you gave your WHOLE house a reset instead of just cleaning what was right in front of you?

Maybe this is your sign to plan a little top-to-bottom refresh of your own! ✨
