    Whatever is on the grocery list for that week.

    :D

    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.

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

    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.

    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.

    I've switched to a more seasonal eating approach and I patronize a farmer's market now for produce and eggs.

    Seltzer
    Basmati rice
    Chicken thighs
    Chicken breasts
    Pork tenderloin
    Flank steak
    Shrimp or scallops
    Ricotta
    Berries or citrus
    Apples or pears
    Onions
    Mushrooms
    Spinach, chard, or kale
    Garlic
    Ginger
    Bell peppers
    Hummus
    Muir Glen diced tomatoes
    Olive oil
    Eggs

    The rest kind of varies...
