Hi my friend—this week I’m showing you what $100 got me at Walmart for dinners (and snacks) for my family of five, from Sunday until Friday (payday). I’m sharing the real-life plan behind it, because as a working mom I need meals that are simple, repeatable, and don’t take a ton of mental energy. I also pop up prices, talk through what’s actually worth grabbing, and how I stretch things into “two-night meals” when I can (because that is the goal… even though sometimes my kids are extra hungry and it doesn’t happen). This haul is also a little Super Bowl-friendly, so yes—we’re doing the Velveeta + Rotel queso (if you know, you know) and wings. Then I’m leaning on easy proteins like pork tenderloins and drumsticks, plus lunch helpers for my husband (because he’ll eat like a little bachelor when I’m at work). My biggest takeaway: shop your fridge/pantry first, keep your seasonings and basics on hand, and track what you spend daily so you don’t “feel defeated” at the end of the month. I’m also sharing how I’m working toward getting our grocery budget under $1,500/month, why no-spend days have been a game changer, and a few of my current favorites—like my budget planner, my meal planning pages, and the devotional that’s been encouraging me to believe bigger in this season.
