I tried to make a list of what I usually buy, but sorry, it will just go on and on. A list of every possible food available can't be of help to anybody.

I rarely shop in an actual grocery store. Most of my food comes from a produce market, that also sells some canned goods, eggs, cheese, fresh bread, and fresh fish. Grocery store shopping consists of things like coffee, canned soup, canned tomatoes, meat, and yogurt.

At the produce market, my shopping list includes romaine lettuce, lots of peppers (red bell, green bell, jalapeno, etc.), mushrooms, cauliflower, apples, bananas, strawberries if they look good, red or green grapes, carrots, celery, cilantro, ginger root, garlic, onions, cucumbers, pita bread, almonds (if I've run out), salmon, and spinach.

For me or for the house? I have to have a coffee stash (reg and decaf), fruits and veg, yogurt (Greek or plain lowfat), protein bars, dry soup mix.

Bananas
Tropical fruit
Apples

Unsweetened soy milk (and chocolate almond milk for family members)
Gardein vegan meats
Tofurkey deli slices
Bread made from sprouted grains
Lots of leafy greens that are in season
Carrots
Peppers
Bean based pastas
Beans and lentils

I buy other things like condiments, spices, sometimes vegan icecream, and what looks good at the store but I stick to what's on my list.

Greek yogurt (a large tub of the plain and a few small containers of the Light and Fit Greek)
Cottage cheese (big tub of 1-2%)
Unsweetened almond/cashew milk
Laughing Cow wedges and babybels
Fat-free feta cheese
Frozen fruit (berries, pineapple/peaches, cherries)
Frozen veggies (broccoli, green beans and almonds, snap peas, whatever looks tasty that isn't drenched in any sauces)
Frozen dinners (Lean cuisine -if I'm too lazy to make dinner)
Frozen fish/shrimp (whatever is on sale or cheaper per ounce. I got a good deal with frozen ahi tuna steaks a few days ago and also have a few frozen salmon filets. If all else fails, it's good old Gorton's salmon "filets" for a relatively cheap source of seafood)
Peanut butter (has to be chunky)
Powdered peanut butter
Sugar-free jelly
Splenda/Sucralose
Canned vegetables
Canned beans
Canned tuna/tuna pouches
Canned light soup
Coffee. Lots of coffee
Dark chocolate (at least 85% cocoa)
Quest bars (a treat for me)
Low blood sugar treatment (often jelly beans, though I might use Starbursts or applesauce packets)
Salsa
Mustard
Vinegar
Spices
Kale/Collard greens
Raddishes
Zucchini
White mushrooms
Apples
Clementines (if they're in season -I'll probably stop buying them now that the season is just about over)
Asparagus
Cauliflower
Green peppers
Baby carrots
Snap/Snow peas
Onion/Cucumber (if I'm making cucumber salad)
Berries (if they don't cost an arm and a leg)
Chicken breast (if it's on sale)
Diet soda


I don't eat a ton of grains. The stuff above is often stuff I'm getting on a weekly basis, though there's some stuff that I might get once every 1-2 months (a large container of chia/flax seeds will last me a good 1-2 months) or will throw in if it's on sale. This doesn't include stuff the rest of my family eats.
