    I've found that watching what I eat, I'm no longer going to the cafeteria at work and spending $50+ per pay period, so I've been putting that extra $100 toward groceries.
    I do the bulk of my shopping at Aldi's. I get everything that I can there...cheaper than doing it all at Walmart.
    Some of my staples that I get at Aldi's are:
    Milk
    Eggs
    Aldi brand Cheerios
    Oats
    shredded cheese
    non fat yogurt
    canned mushrooms, diced tomatoes, stewed tomotoes etc.
    tuna
    whole grain pasta's
    frozen fruit-strawberries, blueberries, pineapple, mango, raspberries, mixed berries etc.
    lettuce, broccoli, tomatoes, fresh mushrooms, spinach
    ground turkey(not in stock right now due to recall)
    turkey sausage/kielbasa
    chicken breasts
    fresh fruits, if good
    pork chops

    By the time I'm done there, the only things I really need is bread(I like to get light bread), cream of mushroom/chicken soups(aldi doesn't have the reduced fat) and a few other things...
    HTH
