    I try to add variety to my weekly trips.

    A staple of my grocery list is definitely some kind of dairy product since I actually use to have a hard time fitting calcium and protein into my diet: Skim milk, 2% milk Colby jack cheese sticks, plain Greek yogurt

    After that I kind of just enjoy my grocery shopping and explore the aisles for good foods. (I go after my workout and workout snack so I'm not hungry going into the grocery store.) I always pay attention to the nutritional facts and I actually read articles on super foods and other healthy foods in my spare time before I go to the store to be prepared.

    More recently when I went I got:
    Hummus
    Bananas
    Avocados
    Organic sunflower seed butter
    70% dark chocolate
    Unsalted almonds
    Unsalted pumpkin seeds
    100 calorie popcorn packs
    Whole wheat English muffins
    Turkey bacon
    Mini cheddar cheese rice cake snacks

    Broccoli, cauliflower, asparagus, and cabbage. I've noticed that when I consistently mix in large amounts of any of those four items, I eat less carbs and feel fuller longer, There are several different ways in which I prepare these, but most often it is stove top, in an non-stick pan with a few tablespoons of oil, and I enjoy lots of chili cayenne pepper on the side with red meat, or garlic salt & Italian herbs on the side with chicken or pork; mix it up & just have fun with it. Its hard to go wrong!

    I get some stuff, like chard ,squash, corn,okra, and peppers from the garden. Depends on what part of the year as to what's in season. Citrus and some apples come from ours and neighbor's tree. I have tons of basil for pesto. Some other fresh herbs that I would otherwise buy,too.
    I keep bulk pantry goods on hand and have canned things like beans, for a quick meal. Eggs come from our chickens or the neighbors. Roasting chickens I've raised myself in the freezer.
    Store-
    Mango
    Pinapple
    Apples ( getting those from a friends tree right now)
    Cilantro, parsley
    Bananas
    Sweet potatoes
    Sometimes white potatoes
    Unsweetened almond milk
    Whole milk
    Ff Greek yogurt
    Some kind of meat-have butcher grind sirloin,chuck or London broil for hamburger
    Some kind of fish, usually salmon but if I'm at the Asian store it could be anything. Herbs-mint,cilantro in hot weather, basil in cooler weather
    Assortment of veggies, especially if I'm at the Asian store or my produce market.
