    This weekend I bought flatouts, sundried tomato turkey and made a wrap with low fat american cheese, 2 tablespoon of low fat ranch dressing and 2 full leaves of romaine lettuce. YUM! Sometimes I add chow mein noodles too!

    I buy the same thing every week.

    Cabot Plain Greet Yogurt (Low fat if they have it- but I'll take the 10%- and no I dont' like lo/no fat- I just think the full fat yogurt is more bitter- but it is thicker- which is nice!)
    1 bag frozen blackberries
    1 bag frozen raspberries
    Frozen Veggies (California blend- or asian blend)
    1-2 thing chicken
    Steak of BF is coming- or a good sale
    as many eggs as I can carry
    2 green peppers
    4 tomatoes
    Onions (This is an every 3 week purchase- I usually buy a bag and it lasts me a while)
    Coffee (same as above)
    Milk- every other week
    if I plan on making stir fry- canned water chestnuts/pineapple

    Occasionally I buy fruit/sweet potatoes/apples/fresh veggies- if they are seasonal/onsale.

    I rarely hit the middle of the store- only for coffee/coffee filters.

    Bam. All done.

    I figure out what I'm cooking later.

    whatever fruits and veg are in season - I'm really bummed that there is only one more week for our local farmer's market b/c I always shop their first for the freshest. I also keep my trips focused on the perimeter of the store as those are the most healthy sections. I also ignore the end caps 'cause that's where the marketing folks put the temptations (i.e. SALES). I survey my freezer for meats since I tend to buy what's on sale and stock up. Hubby likes Amy's or Fig's low calorie boxed soups and I ALWAYS have a box of low-sodium veg, beef and chicken stock on the shelf so I can whip up a quick gravy or soup during the week when I'm too tired to make from scratch. Then it's on to dairy - 1/2 n 1/2 for coffee, sour cream, cottage cheese, yogurt and THEN it's OMG we have 5 different kinds of cheese at home do you need to buy another? That would be me imploring my cheese-oholic husband to "put it back." Grab the coconut water on the way to the reg and we're out the door. Unless a pretty flower bouquet catches my eye :flowerforyou:

    Bam. All done.
    I generally buy the same things every week, too. Keeping it simple, easy to make, and ready to eat works best for me. I eat about the same things every week and then occasionally break for something really different to change things up.

    I hate to grocery shop and basically shop in complete opposites. Standard list:
    Milk, 2% and almond milk
    Bread, whole wheat and sourdough or white
    corn tortillas or tostadas
    Ground turkey
    Chicken breasts
    Extra lean ground beef
    Hot Dogs, hebrew national, for my grandson who loves hot dogs
    cheese, sliced and grated
    Eggs,
    Fresh and frozen vegies and fruit
    Chicken nuggets, for the grandsons
    yogurt, plain fat free greek for me, flavored yogurt for my grandsons
    Cereal for the boys, as well as cream of wheat. My grandson is allergic to oatmeal, so we have to be careful
    fruit snacks, or cookies, or something like that for my grandsons
    Pizza crusts, so they can make their own pizza
    Diet soda, flavored sparkling water
    coffee
    Macaroni and cheese

    Not every trip but I have very picky grandmuchkins who like to eat the same things a lot. I try variety with some good and some bad results. ;-)
