Those nachos were Friday night's supper (I menu plan from Friday to Friday) and they were delicious!

Costco and Target Grocery Haul {Menu Monday}
This week I decided to skip Ingles and get my groceries at Costco and Target. There were several reasons for this: I wanted whole chickens, and Costco sells them for $.99/lb.
