    I usually shop at trader joe's- these are my must-have-in-the-house things from TJ's. My shopping list is mostly protein and condiments because I get all my veggies & fruit from a weekly farmshare!

    -mushrooms, sweet potatoes, onions
    -frozen salmon burgers & mahi mahi burgers
    -frozen raw marinated soy-ginger cod
    -frozen shrimp
    -island soyaki sauce
    -frozen thai gyoza or dumplings - high protein & essential for when a chinese food craving hits!
    -fat free balsamic dressing
    -cranberry walnut gorgonzola dressing
    -goat cheese medallions (individual 1 oz portions- I buy them bc if I open a whole log, it goes bad before I can finish it!)
    -quinoa
    -smoked trout (tinned- by the tuna)
    -smoked salmon
    -light sour cream (so weird, but TJ has the best light sour cream I've ever had)
    -baked marinated tofu or plain sprouted tofu
    -eggs & egg whites

    100% Cran-Grape juice (for Daughter)

    Cashews (for Hubby) & lately I've been getting Emerald 100 Cal pack Cinnamon almonds for me
    Deli sliced smoked turkey & smoked ham lunchmeat
    Prego Veggie Smart pizza sauce
    Newman's Own Tomato Basil spaghetti sauce & Barilla spaghetti noodles (maybe once a month)
    Barilla elbow macaroni noodles, egg noodles (as needed)
    Mushrooms - jar or canned
    Canned Petite diced tomatoes, tomato sauce, Original Texas chili beans in sauce, dark red kidney beans (when I plan on making chili or goulash)

    Plus, every Friday after I shop, I pick up Subway for our dinner. I look forward to it because it's the ONLY time I get to eat take-out.

    So there you have it. That's pretty much it besides the occasional New York Strip, T-bones or Ribeyes we get to grill over our firepit, spices & seasonings as needed, white whole wheat flour & yeast for home-baked bread (maybe a dozen times a yr), Dominoes sugar packets & other basic sundries.

    Obviously I don't buy ALL of this every week, it varies. But probably 80% of it. o.O This feeds Hubby, myself & our young adult daughter. Plus, my son comes over for dinner w/us once or twice+ a week. :)

    Sorry for the tl;dnr long *kitten* post. haha
