My staples are;

tuna,
100% whole wheat bread,
turkey slices,
pretzels,
apples and oranges
baby carrots
peanut butter

For lunch at work:

3 Healthy Choice or Lean cuisine meals (which ever is on sale)
2 Healthy Choice microwave soups

Work Snacks;

Honey Nut Cheerios
apples, oranges or bananas

At work was where I was really overeating and overspending. Now I'm taking in a third of the calories and save a ton of money, not to mention my meals are much healthier.

Bookers23

40 cup Tupperware container to hold salad for week
romaine lettuce
baby spinach
chick peas
kidney beans
peas
peppers
onions mushrooms
celery
grape tomatoes

pretty much one of every protein in the market. vacuum seal the protein and freeze or sous vide ahead.
We have a salad and different protein each night. I hate eating same thing over and over, but have loved this salad concept. we hit the gym after work and dinner is ready, no prep work each night, no pans to clean. cooking sous vide is so clean with no added oils or fat.

staples for around house and snacking at work
fiber one bars
oatmeal
Almond Milk
Protein Powder
Low Sodium deli chicken
fresh fruit
natural cashew butter or peanut butter
Flatouts (amazing)
hummus
Krave cereal for late snacks is new addiction

We also found having a large carafe of crystal light or other flavored water increases our intake tremendously. Much more so than going to the water cooler all the time.

Turkey bacon, ground turkey and egg whites are a MUST. We use e-mealz on the low carb menu to help us out. It is $5 a month and gives you weekly menus and shopping list based on your choice and the store's weekly specials. It has been a great budget tool for us. We also love feta and spinach in a lot of things. One thing I have noticed is that the organic and all natural items you buy can a lot of times have more calories and fat. It takes longer, but read the labels. Hope you have success on buying healthier!

ccarre81

Always have fruits for breakfast and snacks, and lettuce, tomatoe and cucumber for salads.

Then I make a weekly menu and buy according to that. I try to use ingredients in more than one recipe to make sure I don't waste food. I make/use recipe cards and but them in a basket in my kitchen. If hubby gets home before me he knows what do to (although I do most of the food prep on the weekend).

I'm getting good a planning and can usually stay under $120 for the whole week. My menus are also based on weekly flyer sales. I also use skinnytaste.com for insiration.

Add me if you need help with menu planning.
