Return of the Convenience Foods

My husband and I are going out of town tonight for the week. Because there will be various combinations of three different grandparents here with our children I wanted to make things as easy as possible on the caregivers. Sooooo... frozen/prepackaged/easy-to-assemble food is on the menu.

Meijer:

3+ lb. bananas @ 1.64
1 lb. vidalia onions @ .98
organic carrots @ 1.99
2+ lbs. grapes @ 3.79
(2) avocados @ 1.67 each, used .55/2 winetag
(2) Rosarita refried beans @ .99 each, used .50/2 
(4) 28 oz. canned tomatoes @ 1.49 each
(3) A1 marinade @ 2.50 each, used 2.00/1 coupons and got an automatic $2 off produce
(1) cage free eggs @ 3.19, used .50/1
(1) Cascadian Farm organic grape jam @ 3.49, used 1.00/1
(2) Danactiv drinkable yogurt @ 2.50, used 1.00/1
(2) Bertoli alfredo sauce @ 2.00 each
(4) Steamfresh frozen veggies @ 1.50 each (it kills me to pay for these.)
