Welcome to the second week of the new LWD Grocery Haul series in which I share our weekly grocery purchases, including prices. I’m always curious to see what others purchase and what food prices are in different countries or regions. I hope you find this new series interesting.

My planned menu for the week:
Changes in that menu plan:
Well, this was one of those fairly unusual weeks when very little of my menu plan actually happened.
Monday: I took food and groceries to my mom and ended up at her house until after 7 p.m. I knew that it would take me well over an hour to cook the planned dinner so we wouldn’t have been able to eat until nearly 8:30 p.m. Instead, I picked up chicken strip dinners from Braum’s.
Tuesday: This night went as planned and we enjoyed our tacos and homemade guacamole.
Wednesday: I had originally planned to bake some cod for Chris and myself, and a piece of frozen parmesan herb encrusted chicken from Aldi for David. Chris went to the city so I just did chicken for David and I both, along with the planned baked potatoes, veggies and salad.
Thursday: Lisa and I went to the city together to see a museum exhibit and since it was about 6:30 when I got home, I picked up French Dip sandwiches from Arby’s for dinner. Chris was still in the city.
Friday: We met up with friends for a drink after work at a wine bar with a nice outdoor area. We ended up chatting for a couple of hours. By that point none of us were interested in cooking dinner. We considered a few options and ended up ordering takeout from our favorite Italian restaurant which happens to be next door to the wine bar.
Saturday: David and I ate leftovers from our Italian dinner for lunch and I still had some of mine left, as well as part of a cup of creamy artichoke dip. I combined these with chicken broth and leftover veggies to make a really tasty soup. We still had several pieces of toasted bread that came with the dip so I heated those to go with our soup.
Sunday: Chris picked up Jimmy John’s sub sandwiches for all of us for lunch. We each saved half and I heated a can of tomato soup to go with them for our dinner.
I’d love to hear your thoughts on this new series. Is there anything else you’d like me to add to these?

I can’t think of anything to add but I am enjoying comparing prices, planned menus then what you eat each week.
Thanks, Terri! Btw, I keep meaning to comment on some of your blog posts but I tend to read them on my phone very late at night in bed and then forget by the time I’m on my computer the following day. But I do want you to know I read every post and always enjoy them. 🙂
