Ok so I'm stocking up on all things good tomorrow morning at the grocery store- Can you tell me what you get every single time you go to the grocery store- or what you can't do without? I know I always get avacado, almonds, different green lettuces, chicken breast but I want to widen my horizons and see if I can incorporate new things that have kept others healthy! :happy:

Thanks :flowerforyou:

    Well this won't help you for tomorrow..

    But I order all my fruits and veggies from Bountifulbaskets.org
    Pick up is Saturday, then I go to the grocery store to get anything that didn't come in the basket.

    It will broaden your horizons, as you get all the tradidtional stuff like celery, lettuce, potatoes, etc.. and then you get weird stuff like bok choy (love!!) pummelos..etc..

    What you get varies each week and you can't pick and choose. They have lots of add ons too. Thier granola and bread is amazing! I love thier asian and mexican basket add ons too. I'm getting 8 pounds of strawberries (those clamshell ones) for 12 bucks I think i paid. Plus a juicer pack that was 8 bucks.. comes with kale, cucumbers, carrots and a bunch of other stuff. Iove it.. best discovery ever!

    Then if you didn't get broccli you can go get it. I plan the meats I buy around the veggies I get and do a lot of research on google, since I never heard of some of the stuff I get. LOL

    Oh yes.. and fish.. I ate a ton until I moved here.. I need to get back to fish.. I'm having a hard time eating it here, since I'm used to super fresh fish (like it was swimming that morning) and everything here is flash frozen. Not sure how to overcome that.. but I'm trying.

    As a general rule we've started to shop around the "outside ring" of the grocery store (with the obvious exceptions, of course) and fill the cart with items in those sections.

    Remember, you won't be tempted by anything if you don't go down the aisle it's in :)

    Ordering is nationwide starting at noon on mondays until i think Tuesday afternoon. Rule of thumb.. order early on Monday,, they have limited quantites and it does sell out.. pick up times are strict, but it'sa co-op and you can go organic if you want. I also get my coconut oil from them. It's amazing. I hope they have it where you live. It's not everywhere which sucks.

    I usually get something different everytime I go to the grocery store. I spend a lot of time walking around the fresh produce section and looking for things that I have never had. I discovered pomegrantes about two years ago. Now, I get them ALL the time. Other things include baby spinach, bananas, frozen blueberries, yogurt for smoothies. I also buy a ton of broccoli because I use broccoli as the base for my salads rather than lettuce (I don't really like lettuce). I always buy cucumbers, clementines, zucchini, yellow squash, grapes when ripe. Spaghetti squash was another fairly recent (within the last 2 years) discovery. I use feta cheese on my salads. I also incorporate avocado and walnuts into my diet.

    As for meat: Chicken, Ground Turkey, Lean Sweet Turkey Sausage (take out of chasing and use as ground sausage for lasagna rolls).

    Then, its down the last aisle- milk, cheese, whole wheat bread, etc.

    I truly shop the perimeter of the store about 90% of the time.

    My most recent list, last week I needed to stock up:



    Meats:

    2 5lb Whole Chickens (cook 5 lb chicken weekly, separate into portions to freeze = cooked chicken ready to go all week)
    1 3lb Hunk of Pork (I got a "picnic" chunk I think, bone-in is cheaper than pre-cuts)
    3 lbs Ground beef
    1 lb Turkey Bacon
    1 lb Lean Ham lunchmeat
    1 pack of Turkey Hot Dogs

    Other:

    Brown rice
    Whole Wheat Pastas
    Sauce + ingredients for Pasta Meals
    2% milk
    Cereal
    BBQ Sauce
    Hot Sauce
    Oil + Marg
    Sour cream/Cream cheese
    Low fat shredded and sliced cheeses
    Guac + Ranch mixed Salad Dressing
    Low-fat soups for quick meals or to add to other meals
    Stock for soups and stews
    Dry Beans
    Whole wheat Bread
    Tortillas
    Hot dog rolls
    Eggs
    Seasonings for cooking (salt, pepper, dry rubs, marinades, taco seasoning, etc)




    Veg + Fruit:

    Apples
    Garlic
    Potatoes
    Bananas
    Spinach
    Kale
    Peppers
    Oranges
    Carrots
    Green Beans
    Peas
    Tomatoes
    Onions
    Corn
    Celery


    Drinks:

    Flavored Water (only a 6-pack every now and then, too expensive to do it all the time)
    Tea Bags


    Treats:

    Cookie Dough (portioned so I can make 2 or 3 cookies for a treat)
    Individual Ice Cream Cones



    I've learned to get what I like in general, but to moderate it better and to choose healthier options whenever they're available. Instead of Chips to snack on, I get Apples and Oranges or Carrots and Garlic Hummus, etc. I used to get low fat/low-cal everything, but the flavor really does suck on a lot of things like that. I get normal dairy items and dressings and just use them more wisely now. :)

    I bought an eggplant for the first time ever last week and didn't know what to do with it :indifferent: I had to toss it. I'm going to try spaghetti squash for sure though- I love other squashes- just never tried that one YET :wink:

    Well this won't help you for tomorrow..

    But I order all my fruits and veggies from Bountifulbaskets.org
    Pick up is Saturday, then I go to the grocery store to get anything that didn't come in the basket.

    It will broaden your horizons, as you get all the tradidtional stuff like celery, lettuce, potatoes, etc.. and then you get weird stuff like bok choy (love!!) pummelos..etc..

    What you get varies each week and you can't pick and choose. They have lots of add ons too. Thier granola and bread is amazing! I love thier asian and mexican basket add ons too. I'm getting 8 pounds of strawberries (those clamshell ones) for 12 bucks I think i paid. Plus a juicer pack that was 8 bucks.. comes with kale, cucumbers, carrots and a bunch of other stuff. Iove it.. best discovery ever!

    Then if you didn't get broccli you can go get it. I plan the meats I buy around the veggies I get and do a lot of research on google, since I never heard of some of the stuff I get. LOL

    Oh yes.. and fish.. I ate a ton until I moved here.. I need to get back to fish.. I'm having a hard time eating it here, since I'm used to super fresh fish (like it was swimming that morning) and everything here is flash frozen. Not sure how to overcome that.. but I'm trying.

    omg that sounds amazing~ I'm going to have to try that - it's something that sounds like me since I try to buy at least one "new" thing every month or so!!! And omg you had super fresh fish??? I would be in Heaven, I can only do that when I go camping up north of me and it's delishhhh! :love: I love all seafoods/fish! yummmmmmmmmmm thanks again I'm going to look into bountifulbaskets!

    Ordering is nationwide starting at noon on mondays until i think Tuesday afternoon. Rule of thumb.. order early on Monday,, they have limited quantites and it does sell out.. pick up times are strict, but it'sa co-op and you can go organic if you want. I also get my coconut oil from them. It's amazing. I hope they have it where you live. It's not everywhere which sucks.

    They don't have it where I live :( but I guess you can't grow much in Minnesota right now! lol! Awww I'm bummed I would've loved to try that. Oh well back to the boring grocery stores ;)

    There are others in existenace similar to this one.. try a search for farm co-ops or maybe veggie co-ops in your area.. i'm sure they are all good.. jsut have to find one near you that has what you are looking for.
