    The things I buy the same every week are organic oatmeal, flax seed, ezekiel bread, almond butter, eggs, milk, strawberries, bananas, blueberries, carrots, hummus, cheese, honey, and assortment of veggies.

    My dinners are normal: tacos, pizza, steak fajitas, chicken parm. I just make everything so I can control what goes in it.

    My grocery list changes every week... I like to cook so I usually try to plan a couple recipes everyweek and add them to my grocery list. But a couple staples that I buy every week are...

    1. Bottled Water!!!
    2. Non-Fat Milk or Almond Milk
    3. CUCUMBERS! my favorite low cal snack :)
    4. Tomatoes
    5. Sugar Snap or Snow Peas (another easy snack)
    6. Some kind of fruit.... Usually berries ot bananas
    7. 100 Calorie Dinner Rolls or Sandwhich Thins (I need Bread!)
    8. Oatmeal
    9. Egg Beaters or Egg Whites
    10. Skinny Cow Ice Cream for my sweet tooth cravings!
    11. Something low cal but salty... I personally love Snack Facoty Pretzel Chips becuase the serving size is pretty good, but sometimes I mix it up with almonds or pistachios.

    My suggestion is to go an look for easy 30 min diabetic or low gi cookbooks and plan your meals out with them every week.... that is how I do it. But some staples in my house is salad fixings, fresh and canned fruits, fat free, lactose free milk, thinkthin bars (breakfast), broccoli/cauliflower/carrots for steamed sides and smart balance margarine.

    I try to stay away from anything that has been processed or frozen. I usually walk out with a wide variety of fruits and alkaline veggies (organic if possible and budget permitting: examples are cucumbers, celery, kale, peppers, onion, broccoli, spinach, garlic, lettuce), nutritional yeast, Braggs liquid aminos, Braggs apple cider vinegar, nuts and seeds (for salads and munching), soy/almond/hemp milk, organic bran cereal or granola, gluten-free or sourdough bread, peanut butter, brown rice, ginger, green tea, honey, cage-free eggs, if I'm craving some sort of meat I get fish or turkey (ground or bacon). I've recently developed a more raw approach to everyday eating and am cooking less. I'm mostly eating salads and juicing these days. I still splurge when I go out to eat, but I'm making it a point to do that less often.
