    What I do when shopping is plan my meals for the week with a couple of different options in case I run out early (cause I'm feeding my bf) or I get tired of what I made. I just completed my shopping so here it is (a lot of these items I already had at home):

    Breakfast Option 1: Spinach Omelette with Salsa (Eggs, Frozen Spinach, Low fat cheese & Salsa)
    Breakfast Option 2: Berrylicious Minute Muffin (Quaker Multigrain Oats, Eggs, Frozen Berries & Brown Sugar)

    Lunch Option 1: Tuna Pasta Salad (Tuna, Whole wheat pasta, Onion, Olive Oil, Seasonings (or soup mix) & Tomatoes)

    Dinner Option 1: Honey Lime Chicken w/ Coconut Brown Rice (Chicken Thighs, Honey, Limes, Soy Sauce, Seasonings, Rice, Coconut Milk & Frozen Veggies)
    Dinner Option 2: Lemon Pepper Baked Cod w/ salad (Cod, Lemon Pepper Seasoning, Salad Fixin's, Apple Cider Vinegar,)

    Snacks: Sugar free Fudgsicles (I'm a chocolate/ice cream fiend)
    Celery & Salsa
    Tangelos
    Almonds

    I find that planning meals helps when coming up with a list. Because of my busy schedule I only like to do heavy cooking once a week and I have "filler" meals (Dinner Option 2) that only requires the oven. Breakfast Option 2 is a meal that I can keep at work in case I'm in a rush in the morning. This keeps me from eating out as much. I also try to plan my meals around the grocery sales ad cause I'm on a budget. Fudgsicles, cod, tuna and salsa are BOGO, limes are 3 for $1, Tangelos were $3.99 a bag. Hope this helps someone.
