Watch my grocery haul Reel HERE 🙂
I’m walking you through how I restocked our very empty fridge and pantry. One tip that makes shopping simpler: plan a few meals at a time. It reduces the number of ingredients you need and keeps you flexible so you aren’t stuck with meals you don’t feel like eating later in the week. I typically plan around three recipes and then add staples. I usually return to the store in about two to four days—this approach works well for our household.
The meals I’ll be making from this haul include Immune Boosting Shots (from my cookbook), One-Pan Enchilada Skillet, and Pistachio Crusted Fish Tacos (also from the cookbook). These recipes help shape most of the list below.

My shopping strategy keeps things simple: buy core staples, pick three recipes to center the week around, and include easy snacks and breakfast items. This minimizes waste, keeps meals fresh, and makes midweek runs quick if something runs out. Happy shopping—and if you want to see the haul in motion, check out the Reel linked above.
