    I'm pretty strapped for cash, so my groceries tend to be about the same thing all the time:

    brown rice
    refried beans
    frosted shredded wheats
    frozen veggies
    Dannon light & fit yogurt
    Fresh Express salad mix
    tuna
    sour cream
    apples
    salsa

    when needed: body fortress whey protein powder, peanut butter

    It seems boring, but I've found a few fantastic meals out of these simple ingredients!

    Hard to say week in, week out. Cooking for one I tend to buy one or two meat items per week and break them into 3-4 oz portions and freeze them individually.

    Until the garden starts producing I focus on the fruits and vegetables that are fresh and cheap. I eat about anything. Right now I have egg plant, asparagus, green beans, bell and hot peppers and watermelon, blueberries, cantaloupe, apples, peaches, and nectarines, all fresh. Also onions (green, red, yellow, shallots, and garlic) and fresh ginger are typically found around the house too. I try to eat an avocado or two per week as well. And I will likely pick up a couple of bananas too.

    Freezer is loaded with good healthy seafood (lobster, crab legs, crab claws, shrimp, scallops (sea and bay,) fish (tuna, swai, salmon, tilapia,) baby octopus, crawfish tails, squid, mussels, clams, and pond snails,) chicken (thigh and breast,) pork loin, steaks, and ground meats (turkey, pork, beef, and lamb) in 3-4 oz packages.

    The pantry is filled with dried beans (black, pinto, navy, kidney, and lentils and split peas,) and plenty of whole grains and seeds (quinoa, flax, bulgar, millet, kamut, amaranth, and barley,) and all kinds of rices (brown, red, black, white, sushi, arborio, jasmine, wild, and basmati,) and a variety of nuts and dried fruits (like goji berry.)

    Condiments include a variety of Asian (Korean, Japanese, Chinese, Thai, Vietnamese, Indian, etc,) Mediterranean (Greek, Lebanese, Moroccan, Italian, French, and Spanish) plus ingredients from Latin America.

    There is usually a container of sprouts growing somewhere too. I have mung bean sprouts growing right now.

    I am "single" for the first time in my life so I do tend to spend a lot of time cooking and I am pretty darn good at it and I LOVE variety and can finally test my pallet completely.

    So what is in the cart this week? Depends on what I am out of or if I get in the mood to stop at one of the Asian or other international markets that are not far from my bike route home.
