whats on your grocery list?

Brizoeller

Greek Yogurt
Almonds- not salted
Baby Spinach (always)
Chicken
Hummus

To name a few...

Darlingir

Some of the staples always on my list are:

Skim milk
eggs
bananas
watermelon/strawberries (or whatever is in season)
bell peppers
celery
chicken breast - boneless/skinless
peanut butter
Breyer's Natural Vanilla ice cream

I know the last item will raise eyebrows. I'm not going to kid myself and say I will never eat ice cream again. I am learning portion control. AND, I make allowances during the day if I want to have ice cream in the evening.

no raised eye brows here...yum!

Tskitzo_

Chobani Greek Yogurt
Honey Wheat Bread
Natural Peanut Butter
Sargento Monterey Jack Cheese Slices
Cereal
Orange Juice (It's Minute Maid's Kids which I like for the vitamins and it tastes good o3o)
Mio water flavouring
Bottle water (Our tap is gross and smells like chlorine)
Propel water
Macaroni with broccoli bits in it
Rice Sides (chicken, chicken broccoli)
Frito Pie ingredients (Fritos, either plain or chili cheese, chili beans, chili with and without beans)
Ice cream of some sort
Monterey Beef and Bean burritos (I know it's not the best to eat but it's yummy)

That's pretty much all for me, I'm not including my husband's items because I rarely eat the same things he does. We don't eat much meat because we can't really afford it at the moment. But when we do get meat, it goes into hamburger helper usually.

edit: I'm sure I'm missing a few items on that list, but I'm not at the store at the moment. We don't make actual lists, we just grab what we need when we go. Also that's not EVERYTHING on my list but stuff we usually always have in the house.

I agree. You've got to treat yourself sometimes!!

WhatDoesLisa

I have this rule that I have to eat everything in my fridge/cabinets before I can go shopping. These are the things that I can't live without:

Pink lady apples, romaine lettuce, Oikos organic greek yogurt, GG Bran crispbread crackers, F-Factor cereal and bars, Fiber Gourmet pasta, Tazo Zen green tea, organic frozen fruit, olives, pecorino romano cheese, lemons. I need rehab for my lemon addiction.

I tend to be one of those "last meal" type of people so I just started portioning out Pop chips and Kind bars (only half per snack) and trying to eat those when I need a salty/sweet snack.
