So here is my huge grocery haul for the week. I shopped at my local Kroger store which is fries in our area and we have a lot of groceries. What you don't see is a Diet Coke, a big case of water and three six packs of Gatorade Zero. Troy's currently putting those away in the garage fridge. So I did a restock on my paper plates. I actually had quite a few good coupons that I wanted to use that before they expired. And one of them was for paper plates so I picked those up. I also got a graham cracker pie crust for my meal prep. Stay tuned after the grocery haul for what's on my menu for dinners and meal prep on Monday. They had a digital coupon for the private selection burgers. By the way, these are incredible. Troy and I love these burgers. They're some of the best frozen patties you can buy. And I found the thin ones. I was really excited about that because typically they're about 400 calories. These are 205 per patty. And I figured I could just have one patty and then Troy could double up his burger if he wanted more meat. But I was super excited to find the thin ones. And like I said, these are really, really good quality burgers. Speaking of burgers, I did score a couple of good deals in the meat department. So I have this big pack, about two and a half pounds of 93, seven ground beef for $9. I'm going to make sloppy joes this week for Troy. So I'll use that up. And then I got this big packet chicken breast for about $9. That's an incredible deal, typically $18. So it's about half off. What I do is just bag these up in one pound portions and freeze them. And you can always buy that discounted meat if you just throw it in your freezer or use it right away. I did two gallons of 1% milk for Troy. He's been out of milk for a few days and is panicking because he likes to have his cereal. So I picked up two gallons and then I grabbed these little mini sugar cookies in the bakery for him. These were only 3.99, which I thought was a really good deal. And for me, this is perfect. They're just the perfect sweet treat size. And you can definitely work one of these little mini cookies into your day. There was a good digital coupon for the wild protein chips. Now these are about $6 a bag of sprouts. Same with Kroger, but there was a $2 off coupon, which made them only 3.99. They only have the one flavor of the Himalayan pink salt, but I do actually really like this flavor. 10 grams of protein in a chip. These chips are actually made out of chicken, but you can't tell. They literally taste like a regular potato chip. They're crunchy, they're super good. And I haven't had them in a hot minute. So I went ahead and grabbed myself a bag. I did grab some burger buns for Troy for those sloppy Joes. And then I was actually looking for some type of white chip. I am excited to announce that I am going to be putting out another Ninja Creamy video because I have completely revamped how I make my ice cream and my Ninja Creamy. And you can use the recipes. If you don't have a Creamy, the recipes I share with you can make into protein shakes. So it's going to be amazing. I'm going to be filming that, making up all the batter. So I bought some mix-ins for that video. And one of them is this cream cheese Hershey's chips. I am really excited. Wait till you guys see these amazing protein ice cream recipes that I have and the points, the calories, the protein, super excited for a Ninja Creamy part two video. I needed some mashed potatoes for a recipe. And I just got the Bob Evans sour cream and chives. And then I picked up a dozen eggs. I usually buy eggs from a local lady in our community that has chicken. But she hasn't been able to make it up to our community to deliver lately. So I did pick up a dozen. And then on the way home, I got a text from her saying she'll be here today with three more dozen eggs, which is fine. Tori and I eat a lot of eggs. And these happy egg organics, 10 out of 10, my favorite egg unless I buy farm fresh eggs. And these are currently on digital coupon as well. I did pick myself up a bag of these Lilies gummy worms. I love these. These are so good. It's just nice to have as a little sweet treat. And they were 250, I think, which was a pretty good deal. Normally they're well over $3. And then I saw these when I was getting my yogurt. And I have never seen these before. These are sugar-free parfaits. So basically it's sugar-free jello and whipped cream. They're only 25 calories a piece. And I thought, oh my gosh, what a perfect summer easy, sweet treat. And there's three different flavors. And I think it was $3. So super affordable. We'll definitely test this out and know what I eat in a day. And then I grabbed some true lemon, strawberry lemonade. I've been craving strawberry lemonade. And this will just go into my water, which will help me get in lots of water plus cure my craving for lemonade. This was in the clearance area. This is the Quaker Cookies in Cream Oatmeal, $1.51 for the whole box, which I thought was pretty good. It's 130 calories per packet. And my plan is to stir in some protein powder or a lot of times with oatmeal, I'll use a pre-made protein shake rather than water to add in some extra protein. So I'm excited to try that out. And I figure it doesn't hurt for $1.51.  I also needed some more creamer. So I picked up the zero sugar coconut cream. This is actually one of my favorite zero sugar creamers. And then I got a five pack of Kraft mac and cheese for Troy. He loves mac and cheese. It's a super easy lunch snack for him. This is on sale for $5. So it's a dollar a box, which is a fantastic deal. And then these are new to me from the Carb Master brand, which is Kroger's Low Carb Milk Brand, similar to Fairlife. They have these protein smoothies. They're only 90 calories and they have 12 grams of protein. I thought, so I wanted to try these out. What a great snack. Something you can take with you, something cold and refreshing. So they had a few different flavors. I did grab a strawberry or I'm sorry, a raspberry and then a tropical mango. That sounds so good. These are like $1.40. So really affordable. We'll definitely, I'll let you guys know how those are. And then here's something that wasn't affordable. I actually had a recipe that called for Creme Fresh. I've never used Creme Fresh before. This was $6.50. This is the only one they had or I would have got a cheaper one. I don't even know what Creme Fresh is. On here it says French style cultured cream, but it calls for this in a recipe. So $6.50 later for that recipe. I also picked up two, one third less fat cream cheese, just the Kroger brand for my meal prep. Wait until you guys see what I'm making this next week. I'm super excited. We were completely out of black pepper. So I went ahead and picked up a refill. I also needed Thousand Island Dressing for my lunch meal prep. I just got the fat free. I looked at the back, looked at the ingredients. There are not much difference between the regular Thousand Island and the fat free. And this one only has 35 calories versus 130. I don't need a lot of fat free foods in general, especially salad dressing, but for the recipe I'm making, I think it's going to be just fine. We'll see. I've actually never tried this before. So let me know down below, have you tried this? Is it decent? And then both of my Fairlife milks because Ninja Creamy video and you guys know I use Fairlife milk in everything.  If I could find that, I would die because that would make amazing protein shakes, amazing protein ice cream, but they didn't have it at Kroger. So if you guys have seen the strawberry one, let me know where you found it. I did grab one cottage cheese. I still have one in my fridge, but since my Walmart doesn't sell good culture and it was on sale for $3, which is about half the price of sprouts, I picked another one up. This is my all-time favorite cottage cheese. And then I needed non-fat Greek yogurt for a couple of recipes and I've been wanting to make Greek yogurt with my Clean Simple Eats protein and make a protein yogurt.  Of course, Manwich for Troy for those sloppy joes and lots of yogurt. I ate all of the yogurt that I bought last week. So I stocked up on my Chobani Zero sugar. This is my favorite yogurt, hands down. I love the milk and cookies. It tastes literally like Oreos.  And then I grabbed three of the two good lemon yogurts. These are my favorite yogurts from Too Good and they only come out during the summer. If you love lemon, lemon cream, lemon curd, lemon meringue pie, you would love these. These are really fun. If you put just a tiny bit of graham cracker crumbs on top, you really get like a lemon pie vibe. I love them. So I went ahead and picked up three and then just a ton of produce. We've been eating a lot of salads, a lot of produce.  Actually, I'm really not able to cut up watermelon at this point. So I grabbed some pre-cut up, ready to go watermelon. A red onion for a recipe. And then we like red onion on salad. And then I grabbed some green onions for salads, some peaches. I need peaches for my Ninja Creamy video. And then I grabbed some extras just to eat. Peaches are on sale for 99 cents, which is a fantastic deal. Tons of berries, strawberries, raspberries, a big thing of blueberries and then blackberries. This is for my breakfast meal prep. I love basil and I saw that this was on clearance for $1.24. I like to put basil in my salad. I like to put basil in a lot of things. I really, really love it. So I know that we'll use this up and that was a great deal. And then I got these fun colored tomatoes for salads and I also picked up some mushrooms for salad. Some celery so that I can have celery and peanut butter. That's been another thing that I've been loving for a snack. And then I got some more of the mini seedless cucumbers. We eat these a lot and I like to make cucumber mint water using these in my little picture from Amazon. I'll pop a picture in here of the glass pictured and fuses your water with flavor. And it's all natural. You can use berries, you can use cucumbers, lemons, limes. I will link that picture off of Amazon down below for you. I do have the 40 ounce. They had a Caesar salad kit on clearance for $1.28. It actually looks really good. We are gonna have this for lunch today. I'm going to top it with the just bear chicken strips that I bought at Sam's Club. I like to throw those in my air fryer. They're crispy, they're delicious and that'll put some protein on this Caesar salad. And then I did grab a bag of romaine as well so that we can have that for extra salads this week. I do wanna do a cob salad for dinner one night. I have some baby spinach in my fridge and I'll mix that with the romaine. A couple of lemons for a recipe and water. Cherries were on a killer deal at Kroger. These were $4 for this whole bag. That's an amazing deal. So I grabbed a bag of cherries because cherries are amazing and they're usually really pricey. And then you can see two leeks back there. I need that for a recipe. I did get a big bag of avocados because for some reason I am on a major avocado kick.  And I love these ones because they're small so I can eat the whole avocado and not feel bad about it. That is everything that I picked up for the week from Kroger. Let's go ahead and jump into what's for dinner, what you'll see in Monday's meal prep. So here's what's on my menu for the week. So Saturday's out for dinner always. Sunday we're actually going to my in-laws for Father's Day. Monday I'm making chicken and leek pie. I'm actually really excited about this recipe.  Tuesday, Wednesday we do leftovers. Thursday I'm making cob salad. And then Friday we also do leftovers that we're able to eat up everything from earlier in the week. And then here's what you'll be seeing in Monday's meal prep. Like I mentioned I'm really excited for these recipes. For breakfast I'm making blackberry muffins. For lunch I'm doing burger bowls. And then for a sweet treat I'm actually making strawberry cheesecake bars. I know my husband is very excited for these. So stay tuned on Monday for all three recipes in meal prep.

Income tax 2022-2023, do you have to file? Let's do some wealth preservation with some income tax preparation. Most of this information comes from the Form 1040 Instructions Tax Year 2022 filing requirements you can find at the IRS website, irs.gov, irs.gov. We're now asking the question, do you have to file? Before we dive in, note there is a difference between the question of, do you have to file? And the question of, would it be beneficial if you were to file? In other words, you can imagine a scenario where you are not legally required to file, but where you might still have a benefit, possibly be able to get a refund if you were to file. So you wanna make sure to have that distinction in mind when people ask you this type of question. So the general rule would be, if your income is below a certain threshold, you would think that the IRS would not be requiring you to file under an income tax type of...
