I'm a terrible shopper...partially because I don't (can't?) cook, so I don't really know what to buy to put together a meal.

What are some items on your weekly grocery must have list?

    my must haves - kashi 7 grain granola bars - dark chocolate cherry
    - Kashi Go Lean Crunch
    - 500 mL Boxed soups - great for on the go, and soup bases
    - great with add ins like fresh veggies.
    - chicken breasts
    - cream of mushroom soup concentrate (great for baking chicken breasts in and good for cooking rice with - add 2 cups of water to half a can of soup)
    - Spinach, any vinegrette, almond slivers/slices, craisins, feta cheese - AWESOME salad

    Peanut Butter (natural)
    Whole grain breads (Arnold's has a flax n fiber bread I have been using)

    Joseph's whole-grain tortillas with flax (LOVE these)
    Whole grain rices for a pinch. (I like the Near East brand)
    Whole-wheat or whole-grain pasta
    Pasta sauce
    Baked potatoes/sweet potatoes

    Chicken sausages
    Cereal (Kashi, Fiber One and Trader Joe's are my staples)
