Loads of other stuff, but the above are what I need in 24-7.

Spliner1969

Silk Light Almond Milk
Fiber One Bran Cereal (original)
Bananas (I let them ripen, slice them, freeze them, and chop them up and put them in my cereal to sweeten)
Protein Isolate (usually chocolate.. about 3lb per week)
Lots of chicken, usually boneless skinless breasts and thighs
Cauliflower (love this stuff.. baked with olive oil and salt+pepper), Asparagus, Brocolli, Onions, Salad Mix, low cal dressings
Low fat or reduced fat shredded cheese
Blue Bunny Sweet Freedom Ice Cream (love this stuff, usually 100 cal or less per half cup, many flavors)

Light Miracle Whip or Light Mayo

I could go on, but healthy choices if possible. We drink mostly water, but sometimes pick up some diet soda. I also generally pick up light beer, bbq seasonings, bbq sauce, etc. Stevia for my coffee.

steaks, bacon, eggs and avocados.

J72FIT

Eggs, cheese, yogurt, meat (beef, chicken, turkey and pork), fish, fruit, veggies, peanut butter, honey and coffee...

I buy a lot more then this, but these are the must haves...

juliebowman4

I'm Canadian, so brands might be different...but I MUST have Presidents Choice mini naan dippers (6 pieces for 150cal)
Laughing cow cheese wedges (light)
Tilapia fish (eat it at least 2x a week)
Lemons....I squeeze them on fish, salads and over canned tuna.
Strawberries or raspberries...because they make a boring old bowl of dry cereal or oatmeal look so pretty.
Special K cracker chips. My go-to replacement for potato chips, great beside a bowl of soup.
Source yogurt. Yes I'd rather eat Greek, but source only has 35cal per container....so I opt for quantity over quality

I am always sucked into these enquetes - I love to see what others buy and think, but I'm never able to give an direct answer myself, always wanting to give it a try, though, never grasping how detailed or concrete I'm supposed to be.

If I were to list the single items I always or almost always buy in any given week, it would be milk, broccoli and onions. But I always buy an assortment of fruit and vegetables, too, and whatever I need to make dinner, and whatever staples I'm running out of.

I think the only thing I could say that we buy every week would be beer and wine.

Amerane

Cilantro, eggs, milk. Everything else varies based on what's in season/on sale and what I'm feeling like.

Hope228

Trader Joe's Peanut Butter & Jelly yogurt.

clicketykeys

I run through eggs and spinach like nobody's business.

fredericktambunan

Milk, eggs, chicken, or beef or pork or fish to cook for the week. Rice bread. One fresh fruit to have as a snack

pebble4321

My list is a bit dependent on the season and whether the mister is at home or away (currently away for the next four weeks so its just me). Frequent purchases include:
- Black swan greek style yoghurt
- eggs
- cheese - light sliced, laughing cow or babybel light
- skim milk
- rolled oats
- frozen berries (less so at the moment as strawberries are in season)
- fruit - currently mandarins and strawberries, bananas if I feel like smoothies for breakfast
- veggies - almost always zucchini, carrot, cherry tomatoes, broccoli. Often capsicum, mushrooms, cauliflower, onion, avocado, baby spinach.
- salad - pre-prep coleslaw or shredded veg (no dressing)
- meat - one of chicken thighs, salmon or pork fillet
- or lentils (dry, for dahl)
- brown rice
- Sirena tuna in chilli oil

Plus less frequent stuff like bread, flour, nuts, seeds, pasta or polenta, sweet stuff like lamingtons or timtams, coffee, herbal tea, frozen peas, chickpeas, lentils, coconut milk, ryvita or other crackers.

avskk

Salad greens
Tomatoes
Baby carrots
Deli turkey
Pre-sliced cheese (real cheese, not Kraft singles)
Chicken
Small pork chops
Low-cal snacky stuff -- popchips, rice cakes, etc.
Laughing Cow or light cream cheese
Light English muffins
Sandwich thins
Frozen broccoli
Greek yogurt or cottage cheese

I round these out with whatever's on sale, in season, and/or looks really good. I usually have some type of berry, a bag of apples in fall/winter or peaches in spring/summer, a couple artichokes if they're in season, summer or winter squashes, assorted frozen vegetables, hummus or avocados (to make guacamole), ham slices or turkey bacon, whatever raw veggies are cheap, some kind of seafood, and some alternate proteins (turkey burgers, tofu, small steaks). Every couple of months I have to replenish condiments (yogurt dressing for salads, salsas, mustard, light mayo, cooking spray) and spices. It sounds like a boring list but I like it because I can assemble and cook this stuff in a million different ways without changing my calorie intake drastically.

Treece68

Aldi gluten free wraps (I use them for so much)

Shrimp or scallops
Ricotta
Berries or citrus
Apples or pears

The rest kind of varies...
