Due to being a student I have to get as much variety and nutrition from food for as little as possible due to my low budget. The list equates to about £20 a week or less (as some things are switched out or changed), though the list covers 2 weeks for about £40 though not all the items will be bought every 2 weeks. The list covers lunches and dinners, not breakfast or snacks (apart from the yogurt and fruit) as I don't eat breakfast and I don't like to pre-plan snacks prior to shopping, I like to have a little more freedom with snacks. I tend to spend an extra £5 a week on whatever snacks catch my fancy that week, though try to avoid junk food...apart from ice cream if it fits in my calorie amounts. I *kitten* love ice cream. I will never give it up (peanut butter, coffee or rum and raisin).



Vegetables:

• Mushrooms
• Mixed salad
• Bell peppers
• Sweet potatoes
• New potatoes/ baby potatoes
• Asparagus
• Celery
• Chopped tomatoes
• Garlic
• Onions
• Sweetcorn
• carrots
• Cucumber
  

fruit:

• Lemons
• Frozen pinapple
• Frozen berries

Meat:

• chicken -depends on the week, and depending on dish it is being used on it may be switched with chicken style quorn
• Lamb (steaks)
• Tuna canned
  
  

Cupboard staples:

• Rice
• Salt/ pepper
• Chilli seasoning
• kidney beans
• Chick peas
• Pearl barley
• olive oil
  

Other:

• Greek Yogurt
• Cordial

Herbs (growing in a pot)

For my kids, they eat milk, cereal, pb&j, bread, eggs, yogurt, cheese.

My list is much shorter than yours though:
Natural pb
Protein powder
Unsweetened Almond milk
Coffee
Splenda
Diet coke
Zucchini
Cucumber
Lettuce
Tomatoes
Avocadoes
Cottage cheese
Greek yogurt
Chicken breast
Canned tuna
Salsa
Eggs

That's not everything I eat, but it's what's on the menu 75% of the time. Boring, but a little balsamic, pesto, etc, and there's plenty of variety.
