Brigette’s $95 Grocery Shopping Trip and Weekly Menu Plan for 5

Hunting season is almost here again, which means we need to spend the next month or two eating up the venison from last year that is still in our freezer to make room for this year. This is why you’ll see very little meat purchased this week. Also, we are getting LOTS of greens beans and cucumbers from our garden every day, so we will be heavily supplementing our meals with those.
