rewrite this title Brigette’s $46 Grocery Shopping Trip and Weekly Menu Plan for 4!

Published: by Brigette on April 4, 2026  |  This post may contain affiliate links. Read my disclosure policy here.

After taking inventory of our pantry and refrigerators and freezers, I decided to buy as little as possible this week and work on eating up some of the surplus and leftovers we already have in the house. I’ve overbought several of the last few weeks (there have been two different weeks of having my two college kids home for spring break, and I’ve wanted them to come home to every single one of their favorite homemade foods and snacks, haha), so this week will help balance that out.
