Hey there! A couple of weeks ago I posted a vlog that included some of the things that I buy when I go to Trader Joe’s. Since doing that I received two requests to do a full grocery shopping haul.
I thought this week would be the perfect time for that since Adam and I just got back from vacation and needed to stock the fridge up!
I was going to vlog the grocery trip but unfortunately it poured out on Sunday and I didn’t want to risk getting my camera wet. Instead I just did a sit down chatty style haul video where I show everything I bought!
In case you’re wondering, Adam does his own grocery shopping :). We’re kind of a weird couple in that way but we both have our own wants and needs so we shop separately. In the end I usually eat his chocolate though. We do usually end up sharing with each other throughout the week.
I hope you enjoy this video. If you do please subscribe to my YouTube channel (it’s free) and leave a comment down below!
Do you and your significant other grocery shop together?
Do you always eat the same meals every night?
What are three things you always buy every week?
We usually order our groceries online (Amazon Fresh!) but when we used to grocery shop every weekend we went together. It was easier to divide and conquer and get out of there faster!

Nice! I have a subscription to a grocery delivery service but they don’t include Trader Joe’s and I am now addicted to all of the pre-cut and chopped veggies so I make the trip myself. I hope they add TJs soon because I love ordering online and getting delivery!
Oh dang, are you always so healthy? My shopping cart always ends up with veggie chicken nuggets and stuff to make pizza. Seriously though, other people have Taco Tuesday, but in my house it is Pizza Wednesday.

I’m working with a dietitian now so (unfortunately) I am eating pretty healthy these days. That’s not to say we don’t have pizza night … we just order in :).
I don’t do any of the cooking but my fiance and I always grocery shop together. My job is to keep him from buying too many bags of chips 🙂 Three things we buy every week are cucumbers, scallions, and avocados. Avocados are a recent addition and I am loving it! If I was willing to cook for myself our meals would probably be different but we eat the same thing because I am not going to say no to a plate of food that’s ready for me when I get home!

Hahahha I wouldn’t say no to that either! Avocados are a must they make everything better :).
I live in Canada, it’s so different to see all the foods you can get that us Canadians can’t get.

Ohhhh now I’m curious to know what you have that we don’t have here! Not grocery related really but I have heard that Tim Horton’s is the best!
I used to do all of the family grocery shopping on my lunch hour because the store is close by. I was pro at getting in and out of there within 1 hr! But now that my husband is home all of the time, I just give him a list. On a bad week we end up hitting the store several times because we didn’t communicate and forgot something. Hate those weeks!

Ohhh giving hubby the list, that’s nice! I am too much of a control freak to do that though… plus I like going up and down the aisles even if I always buy the same things! 😀
My local Kroger recently got Clicklist, where you make your grocery list online and just go and pick it up! We both can go in and add what we want online. The best part is they load it right into the car for you. It has made my life so much easier! We generally eat the same meals but sometimes he doesn’t like my “too healthy” meals. I am currently 26 weeks pregnant and my 3 staples lately have been pineapple, cereal and ice cream!

Ohhh Clicklist sounds awesome!
Mmm I’m with you on pineapple and ice cream… especially Ben and Jerry’s haha!
Please tell me you eat junk food!? Please please please!!!! Okay, serious question. Do you and Adam share condiments and baked goods type things. Ketchup, mustard, sugar, etc? Do you *plan* who buys this stuff, or do you just kind of, when someone goes shopping, sort of remember you are low on something? When you said turkey meatballs I was like… OOH turkey meatballs! We eat a lot of ground turkey, which i guess is basically the same thing just not in ball form. I’m glad you’re back from vaycay, I missed you. It must be so nice to know Cecil is with your mom. I know you would trust her with his life. How did he react around Georgie? The tables turn…. Georgie spends time in Cecil’s turf and then Cecil with Georgie. Does he not attack Georgie? I know he bites you, does he bite Georgie? Just curious. Does the broccoli and cauli rice taste like rice or the veggie? I can’t tell the diff between white and brown eggs. Why do you not eat the yolk? Cholesterol? Do you eat junk, if so, WHAT? 🙂 (*sips on sangria*)

I do eat junk food but I try not to keep too much of it in the house. I’m working with a dietitian now and she costs too much for me to not follow her plan!
Yes! Adam and I share condiments like ketchup and mustard but we both have specific types of BBQ sauce we like so we buy two different kinds ;). Trader Joe’s doesn’t carry Dove chocolate but I also keep a bowl of Dove chocolates in the house and that is my go-to for a sweet fix at night these days. Adam is a cookie monster and eats cookies for his dessert almost every night. Although… I go to bed before him and sometimes find rolled up Dove wrappers near “his” recliner in the morning 😀
Hahahhaa Cecil is an equal opportunity biter and bites everyone. I hope you don’t think badly of him though he really is such a sweet boy and wants to cuddle way more than he wants to bite! My mom said towards the end she caught Cecil licking Georgie’s ears which I thought was cute ;). They get along 80% of the time, play fight 15% of the time and get into it 5% of the time.
I don’t eat the yolk because it reminds me of baby chicks since it’s yellow. I love eggs but I can’t think about baby chicks when I eat them.
The cauliflower rice tastes like cauliflower but the broccoli rice tastes sort of like brown rice. I think. IDK I love broccoli so it just tastes good to me, but I do think it tastes more like rice than the cauliflower!
When I’m ignoring my dietitian I enjoy eating pizza, cheeseburgers and way too much peanut butter!!!! I’m not a super sweets person but I can eat my way around a pizza!
