Happy back-to-school season, y’all! I am back in Winchester (VA) and just started my second year of physical therapy school. The best part about it? My fridge is looking extra full and happy right now. WOOHOO! I’m excited to be sharing this grocery haul with you guys, which includes items from Trader Joe’s, Whole Foods, and Aldi! I live in a small town that doesn’t have my favorite grocery stores like Trader Joe’s and Whole Foods, so I made sure to stock up on what I needed before heading back to start the semester. There’s only a few grocery stores available to shop at in my town, which include Aldi, Martin’s, Walmart, and Costco. I do my usual shopping at one (or multiple - depending on what I need) of these stores. I normally try to buy two weeks worth of groceries and meal prep to save time during the week and make my life a whole lot easier. Keep reading to see what I picked up in my most recent grocery shopping haul and what I’ll be meal prepping for the next two weeks!
