Do you love peeking into someone else’s grocery shopping trips and menu plans? If so, you’ll enjoy following along with my older sister, Brigette! She shares her weekly adventures in shopping and meal planning, giving you a glimpse into her family’s life.
Each week, Brigette shares her detailed shopping lists from various stores, like Aldi, and her carefully curated menu plans. You can find all of her weekly menu plans here and read more about her family here.

But that’s not all! Brigette’s family also caught fresh fish while fishing and brought home bags of it. And let’s not forget the steal she got on 10 pounds of apples for just $3 from a roadside stand!
