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:

I also get: tilapia, chicken, brocolli, cauliflower, carrots, garlic (love my garlic), almonds, tomatoes0 -
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.0 -
lettuce, tomatoes, cucumbers, onions, bell peppers, broccoli, cauliflower, bananas, oranges, apples, grapefruit (sometimes), squash (different varieties), and other fruit and/or veggies that are in season and look good, lately I have been using ground turkey and boneless, skinless chicken breast a lot too.0

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 0 -

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.0 -
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.0 -
