These are things I buy every single week:

Strawberries
Bananas
Apples
Grapes
Spinach
Cucumbers
Tomatoes
Zucchini
Squash
onions
Lean ground beef
Boneless skinless chicken breast
Deli sliced turkey
Deli sliced roast beef
Sandwich thins
Bagel thins
2% American Cheese
Shredded Cheddar
Eggs
Milk
Bottled Water
Perrier
Juice (for my daughter)

And those are just the basics (I'm sure I have forgotten some). There are still other things I have to get each week depending on what we're cooking for dinner throughout the week. We almost always eat dinner at home (home-cooked) and go out to eat ONLY on special occasions. I also take my lunch to work every single day. I will go out for lunch with a co-worker maybe once a month.

Tell me about your shopping list!

Our average weekly bill is usually in between $130 to $150

    oranges
    apples
    strawberries (or other berry depending on what is on sale)
    pears
    nuts (almonds, walnuts or pecan, raw)
    beans (dried or canned or both)
    eggs (cage free, organic)
    salad lettuce (romaine and spinach, sometimes kale)
    carrots
    zucchini
    broccoli
    corn tortillas (but I'm planning to start making these at home)
    onions
    peppers
    cucumbers
    tomatoes
    rice (brown or wild)
    quinoa (red if I can find it)

    Occasionally I buy Tasty Bite meals when I haven't had time to cook my dinners and once every month or so, I splurge and buy a loaf of bread from Sprout's called an Olive Batard. I quarter that and put it in the freezer where I get to eat 1/4 of a loaf once a week (too high in sodium to do more than that!)
