Hi Friends!

Over the weekend, the hubby and I did some pretty serious food shopping. It’d been a while since we’d been to the grocery store…plus we went to Costco…so I thought it’d be fun to show you guys what we bought!

Let’s start with Costco:


{A pineapple- it was the best price we’d seen in a while}
{Blueberries & Blackberries}
{12 red peppers- they have these 6/$6 – best price around by far!}

{Farro-$7 for a huge bag here, or $5 for a tiny bag at the grocery store}
{Plain, unsalted almonds- for granola, trail mix & snacking by the handful}
{Fingerling potatoes- the best for roasted potatoes}
{Garlic- I don’t always buy it in bulk but I’ve been using a lot lately}
{Cholula- hubby uses it on pretty much everything}

{All new to us- Popchips, Vegetarian burritos & Sweet Potato Fries}
{I’ve heard good things about all of them- can’t wait to try}
{Cat not included}

{Peanut butter- for the dogs}
{Plain Greek yogurt- for the Bean (Lindsay)}
{The yogurt is $5 per container- best price ever!}

{Duh}

Then we headed to the regular grocery store:

{Skim milk}
{Almond milk- recently started doing 1/2 almond-1/2 skim in my cereal}
{OJ- for the hubby & for my smoothies}

{Veggies: Peppers, sweet potatoes, baby bok choy, green beans}

{Fruit- pears, kiwis, oranges & avocados}

{Jazz apples- one of my fav, broccoli & carrots}
{Usually I buy baby carrots but this 3 lb bag was on sale for $1}

{Whole wheat bread, dried chickpeas & barley}
{Some LGF granola for my giveaway winner!}

{Frozen shrimp}
{Cheese- pepperjack for me, havarti for the hubby}
{wonton wrappers for potstickers- recipe soon!}
{Morningstar black bean burgers- a staple in our freezer}

{Curry paste- our fav kind}
{Soba noodles}
{90 sec brown rice}
{diced jalapenos for an upcoming recipe!}

{Duh}

{Eggs}
{Chobani- I mix 2 scoops of flavored into my bowl of plain}

{Plantains for our buffalo plantains experiment}
{Bananas}
{Discount bananas that I freeze & use for “fro yo”}

{Human snacks}
{Dog snacks}
{Cat snacks}

{Best part of the day- hubby snuck these into the cart 🙂 Love him}

So there ya have it! And yes, I’m fairly certain most people think we’re shopping for a family of 6, when in fact it’s just the two of us 🙂

Now, who’s coming over for dinner?!

Enjoy!

  1. I’ll be over tonight! As long as we can have those Morningstar Black Bean Burgers (they aren’t vegan because of the egg whites, but the smell wafting from the microwave alone makes them worth it).

    I love that you found farro…Mama Smart found a Costco-sized bag of quinoa, and one of this sprouted bean blend that I was working my way through at home. We also discovered persimmons (!) and Earthbound baby kales (!).

    Those peppers are the best price right now. I can eat a whole bag by myself though. 🙂

  2. Oh wow, that is a MASSIVE haul. I LOVE that deal on the red peppers, I so rarely buy them unless they’re on mega sale but regularly buy green peppers (they’re my staple). Living alone, and traveling a lot lately, my grocery trips have been on the smaller side, but I can’t imagine getting ALL that food ever, most of it would go bad before I’d use it all!!

  7. Lol, i just bought those sweet potato fries and they are delicious!
    I am with you on the shopping for 6 – i swear more of my budget goes to food then anything else but i LOVE getting groceries and since Whole Foods is an hour away we make a fun road trip out of it, yes yes – i get excited about road trips to grocery stores 🙂

  11. goodness! everything looks great. we don’t have costco but we do have a sam’s, i’ll have to look for farro/other fun grains there. i usually just hit the produce and freezer sections there.

    …and regarding the carrots… i used to be a baby carrot girl myself, but once i started buying fresh, i couldn’t stop because they taste (to me anyway) so much better- sweeter, fresher, not mushy. i just peel and cut a bunch up on sundays for the week. doesn’t take much time and it’s so much tastier and cheaper. i can get a 5 lb bag of organic carrots at sam’s for $2.97! so if you have time for that, definitely consider that option! 🙂

  13. Thinking of making that big of a grocery haul makes me tired. 🙂 Those pop chips are seriously addicting, and $5 big tubs of Fage makes me want to get a Costco membership like, yesterday.

  19. I’m so glad that I’m not the only one who seriously stocks up at the store. We eat basically all of our meals at or from home, so I find it to be imperative to have a fully stocked fridge and pantry! Love all of your items!

  20. Wow you guys got alot of stuff!!! You will love the sweet potato fries. I’ve tried them all and those are by far the best!!!!

  23. Fun to get a glimpse into another shopping cart. I literally have not set foot into any section of the grocery store except the produce section in well over a month save the day I went with the boyfriend so he could do his shopping!
