    produce:
    spinach
    kale
    maybe some chard or beet greens
    tomatoes
    peppers
    carrots
    a stalk or two of celery (usually for soup, because celery sucks)
    squash
    avocados
    onions
    garlic
    beets
    usually a serving or two o fruit
    assorted other veg depending on what I'm making: broccoli, brussels sprouts, eggplant, cucumber, zucchini, jicama, snap peas, snow peas, green beans, whatever

    Nuts, maybe a little cheese, maybe some dried fruit or olives
    Occasionally some quinoa, brown rice, lentils, or amaranth

    Canned:
    black beans for quick soups or sides
    tomato products
    coconut milk
    maybe some tuna

    Meat - depending on how my budget is looking, I head to the butcher and buy grass fed whatever's-looking-good or stick with chicken thighs or breasts, pork tenderloin, ground beef from the supermarket. occasional ham, roast beast, roasting chicken
    sometimes one of those rotisserie chickens... I love homemade chicken stock for soup, but it requires a lot of chicken bones; the butcher only has bones occasionally. Fish: fatty, or low-on-the-food-chain... farmed or wild. I know wild caught is good for you (apart from the mercury), but I get stressed out trying to make fair choices given the state of worldwide fisheries (this stresses me out, but buying factory meat doesn't? I know, I know) so I usually have it once a week or even less.

    Milk for coffee (actually, my real grocery list contains a few items that are mainly for my partner, and milk is one)

    Maybe some frozen vegetables, coffee, specialty items I might be out of, whatever.

    Edit: Eggs! Oh man, eggs. Pasture when I'm at the butcher anyway, omega-3 if I'm not/won't be for a while.

    Low fat plain yogurt

    Pretty simple and consistent for me during a serious healthy push (like right now, before summer). My diet at this time is extremely high protein, low fat, and low carb. So, a lot of lean proteins & raw veggies:

    Skinless, boneless chicken breast (I get a ton because it's healthy and only $1.99/lb where I shop)
    99% fat free ground turkey
    Turkey breast cutlets
    Top round steak
    Eggs (LOTS OF EGGS!)
    Shrimp
    Fresh salmon or Tilapia or Scallops (usually for just one meal since all are pretty expensive)

    Romaine lettuce
    Iceberg lettuce
    Green beans
    Celery
    Spinach
    White/Yellow onions
    Garlic cloves
    Tomatoes
    Sun-dried tomatoes


    Plain instant oatmeal
    Parmesan cheese
    Olive oil
    Bread crumbs & seasonings (or a Shake N Bake kit)
    Yogurt based low-fat salad dressings

    Then I usually get one item that is for my Saturday cheat meal. Most recently I think I got a Red Baron frozen pizza & wings combo.
