Video summary
The video features a weekly grocery haul from a local Fry's store, where the creator takes advantage of first-of-the-month senior discounts and various sales to stock up on essentials for weight loss and meal preparation. A significant portion of the shopping trip is dedicated to Troy's dietary needs, including two gallons of 1% milk and a variety of protein-rich snacks like Daisy cottage cheese cups in strawberry and pineapple flavors. The creator also highlights a buy-one-get-one-free deal on Sabra hummus, which she plans to pair with Wheat Thins for an easy snack, alongside her usual roasted red pepper and garlic varieties. Additionally, she purchased butcher's blend meat and specific types of ham for upcoming recipes, noting that the ham was on sale for a significantly reduced price compared to its regular cost.
A major focus of the haul is on snacks and treats, particularly chips and candies, which are often bought in bulk due to promotional offers like buy-two-get-three-free deals on Cheetos Puffs, Fritos, and Cool Ranch varieties. The creator explains that she had to restock Fritos because someone accidentally ate some reserved for a specific dinner recipe. She also indulges in seasonal favorites, setting aside candy corn and mini pumpkins for Halloween decorations while enjoying Nature Valley Bento Boxes as a quick, healthy option containing almonds, cheese, and blueberries. For frozen meals intended to simplify dinners when working, she selected chicken alfredo and Italian sausage lasagna, along with a white cake and berry-filled bites that were on sale, ensuring there are convenient options available for the week ahead.
The shopping list concludes with fresh produce and salad kits designed to support easy meal planning. The creator bought a large bag of mandarins and bananas for Troy, who consumes them nightly, along with multiple bags of grapes which she describes as her current favorite cold snack. She also added a watermelon and several Caesar salad kits, acknowledging a recent listeria concern but confirming she has had no issues with the brand. These salads are chosen for their high protein content and convenience, allowing her to cook chicken and assemble a balanced meal quickly. The video ends by previewing the week's menu, which includes a walking taco casserole utilizing the purchased Fritos, an Italian hoagie pasta salad for lunch, and a tropical dump cake for dessert, with full recipes promised for the following Tuesday.

Here is my grocery haul for the week
from my local Fry's store, which is a
Kroger store. We had some really good
deals this week and it's the first
Wednesday of the month, so I got the
senior discount. We're not mad, so let
me show you what I picked up for the
week. Oh, what you don't see is 4
gallons of Milo's zero calorie tea for
Troy. So I did get 2 gallons of 1% milk.
Troy goes through a couple gallons of
milk every single week. I got two of the
Daisy cottage cheese cups. These have
been really great for me to eat as a
snack when I'm working, when I'm live.
So I did one strawberry and one
pineapple. Just helps me get in my
protein and again, the perfect snack.
The Sabra hummus was buy one get one
free.
And I saw a girl on TikTok who was
putting Wheat Thins in the hummus and I
have that big box of Wheat Thins from
Costco.
So I thought, yes, I'm going to get some
hummus and try that. So I did one of the
roasted red pepper, which is typically
my favorite, and then [clears throat] a
roasted garlic. I thought again, that
would be a really good easy snack. I did
get 2 lb of the butcher's blend meat.
Again, I use this when I make Troy
spaghetti, sloppy joes, things like
that. So for that price, I grabbed a
couple pounds. I also got some ham. I
need it for a recipe and after the meal,
after the grocery haul, you'll see
what's on my menu for dinner. This week
as well as for the meal prep. I missed
last week, as you know, I took some time
off, but I'll be back with meal prep for
you guys on Tuesday. So I got the
applewood smoked and the black forest.
This was on sale for $3.99, normally
$5.99. So that's a pretty good deal. All
natural, uncured, just good ingredient
lunch meat. The mother lode of chips.
These were buy two get three
free. These will be great for
entertainment entertaining when I do
stuff with my boot camp group, snacking
all the things. So, I got the Cheetos
Puffs, two bags of Fritos, one scoop and
one regular. I also need that for a
dinner recipe because somebody,
not naming any names, starts with a T,
ends with a Y, ate some of my Fritos
that are for my dinner. So, I had to
restock those, and then I got a bag of
Cool Ranch,
and a bag of Crunchy Cheetos.
If you know, you know. I treat myself
every year to a bag of candy corn. I'm
going to actually put this aside until I
decorate for Halloween, and I have a
cute little bowl that I put on my
counter. So, I'm going to put the candy
in there. And then another thing I have
to get every year is one bag of the mini
pumpkins.
I don't know what it is about the
pumpkins, but they're better than any
other Reese's. So, mini pumpkins it is.
And then I got five, I actually ate one
on my way home I from boot camp and the
grocery store. These are the Nature
Valley Bento Boxes. These were on sale
for $1.79, which is really good. So,
this one is like a sweet almond, cheese,
and blueberries. And then I got three of
these, I ate one. This is blueberries,
regular almonds, and cheese. And I'm
telling you, these are a really, really,
really good, quick, healthy snack.
Absolutely love them. I got a couple of
frozen meals. Again, when I'm working,
these are things that we can just throw
in the oven, makes a quick meal for
Troy. Uh he loves chicken alfredo, so I
had to get that. Never tried the Kroger
brand, but I've heard good things. So,
one chicken alfredo and then one Italian
sausage and meat lasagna. Again, I
thought that would be a quick and easy
meal.
This was on sale for $3.
I thought this will be fun to have this
week, just a little bit, little sweet
treat. It's a white cake, white
frosting. And then I also got these for
Troy. I personally don't really like
these, but he does. These are those
little berry-filled bite things. They
were on sale, so I grabbed those.
I did get a Caesar salad kit because it
was good deal and I figured that I could
cook up some chicken, throw that on
there again for an easy meal. And
actually speaking of easy meals, I did
get a couple of the she's Caesar salad
kits. I got these before and actually
really liked them. 21 g of protein again
quick easy meal. I will probably have
one today before I go live for Rise. So,
grabbed two of those and yes, I am aware
of the
listeria situation with Taylor Farms. I
haven't had issues. And then I don't
know but lately I have been craving
microwave popcorn. Like craving it. So,
I got two boxes. I got the extra butter
and the movie theater butter. I thought
that would be a good night time snack.
And then these are my favorite little
snack packs. It is the apples, cheese,
pretzels. You got These were on sale for
$3.60
for four of them, which is a really good
deal because normally they're a couple
bucks a piece. So, as long as I eat them
quickly, which I will, I grabbed that.
And then for produce, a big huge bag of
mandarins. Troy and Palmer eat these
every single night. So, I grabbed those
and then of course bananas for him for
the week. And the mother load of grapes.
I'm still on the major grape kick. Cold
crispy grapes. That's what I really want
as a snack. So, I got two bags and then
lastly a watermelon. So, that is
everything for the week. Let's jump into
what's on my menu for dinner and this
week's meal prep. So, here is what is on
my menu for the week. I'm doing the
walking taco casserole. This is
basically like those little bags of
Frito casserole taco things. We're going
to make a spin on that. That's what I
needed the Fritos for. And then for my
meal prep for breakfast, we do a potato
egg scramble. Lunch is going to be
Italian hoagie pasta. Very excited for
that. Like a pasta salad. And then I'm
making a tropical dump cake for dessert.
So, stay tuned for all three recipes on
Tuesday.
