Hi my friend—today I’m sharing a realistic Walmart grocery haul for my family of five, with prices, what we’re eating this week, and a few of my little working-mom shortcuts that help me stay afloat. I grabbed the basics for easy, repeatable meals (tacos, chili, spaghetti), plus breakfast and snack staples my kids will actually eat—like Pillsbury cinnamon rolls, Goldfish, fruit (cuties, bananas, grapes, blueberries), and the condiments we love because we are very much sauce people in this house. I also walk you through what I’m making for dinner: tuna on Sunday, chili for Monday and Tuesday, tacos for Wednesday and Thursday (yes, Taco Wednesday), takeout with friends on Friday, and spaghetti on Saturday that rolls into Sunday. My goal was $150, but with prices going up, our total came to $250.99 (and that includes a 20% tip). I keep it real about how hard budgeting feels right now, but I’m not defeated—devil’s a liar, God is exalted—and I’m encouraging you to keep going in this season. Until next time, you got this, mama.
