GROCERY HAUL & WHAT'S FOR DINNER! | LARGE FAMILY MEAL PLAN

hey friends welcome back to my channel i have a grocery haul to show you guys today i did a real canadian superstore grocery pickup my total came to 220 wait 230 dollars i forget no i just looked up my receipt okay it was right around 2 25 to 2 30 and i had 20 worth of points that i had added up from previous purchases that i was able to take off of that so i only spent about 205 dollars i had a few little substitutions i will try to point out if i remember as we go i feel like this is a pretty small haul i mean okay it's not just a small bit of food it's a good bit of food but for our typical family of seven grocery hauls i feel like this was a pretty small one i'll go ahead and show you um what i picked up and then i have my meal plan here as well that i will show you what's for dinner for the next few days after i show you the food i did get a 10 kilogram package of flour because i do my sourdough a lot i feed that regularly i go through flour pretty quickly i got three bunches of bananas this big package of lettuce i got a cantaloupe i always like to get this from superstore it's their naturally imperfect produce and so i got this bag of colored peppers it's always different sometimes it has more red or more orange lots of yellow peppers today i think it's oh i'm gonna forget now how much it is i think it's about six dollars but lots of peppers there i got some tomatoes this is one of my substitutions i had just ordered a bag of gala apples they substituted it for empire uh i don't like those quite as good as the galas but it'll be fine they have a good price on these cucumbers it's three dollars for three cucumbers so i did get two packages of those uh these were really on sale i got one box of chicken strips and one box of chicken nuggets we do like this james brand uh chicken we were running very low scary low on cheese i got a block of havarti we like that melted on sandwiches uh what's down here one block of old cheese and then two blocks of um marble cheese my goodness cheese is getting so expensive the price keeps going up but we sure like to eat our cheese tuna was on sale it also was a points offer so i got the 20 worth of points off of my order today with what i purchased today i also um was able to make i think it was about six dollars in points that i can take off a future order so that is helpful so these tunas were on sale and then i also got like 20 cents off a can so we'll have tuna sandwiches i got one block of butter sour cream a big tub of cottage cheese i go through this i have a smoothie almost every day with cottage cheese in it so i go through that pretty quickly too we just needed to stock up a little bit on our canned beans so two cans of black beans and two cans of kidney beans i also got two bags of frozen fruit so these ones are strawberries and then i like to get the four berry blend as well we got a few crackers these ones two boxes of those uh some of these like knockoff brand triscuits we have only had cheez-its i know that cheez-its are like in the states they've been a favorite for a long time we've just had cheese ups in canada probably for a year and so some of these flavors we haven't tried yet the white cheddar and then these vines are zesty cheddar ranch that sounds deluxe i also got a big box of these animal crackers a box of multi-grain cheerios i like to get the large flake oats at superstore because they're only i think 225 for a one kilogram bag of oats veggie crackers i also love to get the the popping corn at super store so i got two bags of those the kids like having popcorn for a snack so i also got two things of flavoring here ketchup and white cheddar every time i make popcorn for the kids they're like are we having flavoring can we have flavoring on them and this was the first time i've seen this i don't think it's a new product i think i just haven't seen it before but it's this purple kernel popping corn i'm not sure what's different pops up light and fluffy they look very interesting so i'm curious to try those out i got a bag of marshmallows two blocks of chocolate one milk chocolate one dark chocolate it's almost s'mores season so i also ordered a box of graham crackers they were out of stock of those so i didn't get those today i'll get the next time i go to the grocery store i also got some sandwich meat so roast beef and ham and then for meat i also just got two packages of um just mild italian sausages there was a points offer on these chips i believe it was buy two and get 1500 points which is a dollar 15 points back and i don't buy these often but sometimes if we're having a snack honestly it's nicer just to be able to say okay kids you can each have one little bag of chips even though the bigger chips are cheaper in the end sometimes like we just eat more right so it's nice to just have like a small single single serving uh you guys know i love to get the blue corn chips for us to have with tacos and that was a substitution today as well i was disappointed they said they were out of the blue corn chips but i think these will be a fine substitution i have never tried these ones but i'm sure they will be good as well thankfully unlike walmart superstore doesn't have a limit on their grocery pick up of two dozen eggs so i was able to get three dozen now that i think about it i probably should have gotten four dozen but three dozen eggs for this week and then i also got three bags each bag is four liters which is a gallon so three gallons of milk if gallons is usually what you measure by not liters i wrote down some dinner ideas for our next week and a bit so pork chops with garlic bread and caesar salad that sounds so good right now oh this counter is wet that i just stuck this paper on um just a really easy pierogies chicken strips and raw veggies like i said we do tacos regularly i'm gonna make homemade pizza it's actually been a couple of weeks now since i've made that i usually make it every other week i shouldn't say it's been a couple of weeks it's probably been almost a month since i made it last we're going to do rice and a sausage stir-fry when i do a stir-fry sausage is my favorite meat to put in it so i'll do peppers and onions mushrooms if i have it take the sausage out of the casings and fry that up with soy sauce and pepper so yummy over rice sweet potatoes that i bought a couple weeks ago now that i really want to use up i'll just do some ground beef patties with those i'll do sweet potato fries likely and then corn and then another night we'll do ribs in the slow cooker with some rice and carrots that's it i expect this food will last us about eight or nine days i've been quite regularly going grocery shopping every nine days try to stretch it out to 10 but that's kind of our happy medium right now two weeks is a long time but it's nice to stretch out groceries for more than just a week and when i do go i do grocery pick up like i i can't even believe that i used to take like all my little kids little kids into the grocery store do all my grocery shopping like on a weekly basis because even when i do pick up i feel like it's a lot of work getting all the food into the house setting it all out doing a grocery haul putting it all away yeah it's a lot of work anyways i am very thankful for grocery pickup because it is super super convenient all right give this video a thumbs up if you enjoyed it and i'll see you guys soon
