 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 buy the same thing every week.
 Bam. All done.0

            We buy in bulk at BJ's club (which helps reduce the impulse buys!) so we don't always go every week but some of our staple items are:
 bread
 eggs
 english muffins
 waffles
 milk
 reduced fat shredded cheese
 cheese sticks or mini baby bels
 hashbrown patties
 bacon
 fruits of all kinds
 avocado, shredded cabbage, tomatoes, onions, potatoes, sweet potatoes, some other seasonal fresh veggies when we want them
 ham sandwich meat
 havarti or muenster sliced cheese
 chicken breast fillets, lean ground beef, lean pork chops or roast, chicken legs/thighs
 frozen veggies- whatever we're in the mood for
 carb side items like pastas and sauces, garlic bread, frozen french fries or tater tots
 coffee/sugar free creamer
 crystal light individual packets
 instant mashed potato bowls, grits, oatmeal, special k
 frozen pizzas/chicken nuggets
 granola bars/special k bars
 Kind of long but that's pretty much the sort of stuff we always have on hand (keep in mind we also have 3 kids so some of that is more for them than us). I love having a freezer so that we can have a nice variety at all times and I basically plan dinner everyday from whatever items we have on hand and I never really plan out grocery trips anymore. Just replenish the basics and add in a few snack items depending on what we find.0

            I always get almond milk, broccoli, carrots, and bananas because those are my favorites. But other than that I kind of just grab whatever I'm feeling like that week. Lately I've been on a rice cake kick...the caramel ones are sweet enough to kick my cravings for bakery goods.
 I also pick up chicken, pork, and beef every week, but that's for my partner as I tend to avoid eating any meat that isn't fish, especially if I have to touch it. Raw chicken gives me the jeebies. 0 0

            I don't have a weekly shopping list (I do a shop on Saturday by bike for exercise, but can't carry a whole week's worth of food, plus some fruit and veg wouldn't keep so I also shop by car on the way home from work once or twice per week) but the things I buy most frequently are:
 -Low fat Greek style yoghurt
 -Blueberries
 -Strawberries
 -Bananas
 -Oats
 -Tuna
 -Some kind of tinned pulses (beans/lentils/chickpeas) depending on what I'm making that week
 -Chicken (for dinner at lease once per week, plus often roast chicken breast to go in wraps or salads for lunch).
 -Veg:
 -onions
 -peppers
 -aubergines
 -courgettes
 -carrots
 -something green (spinach/tenderstem broccoli/greens/kale/green beans...)
 -Fresh herbs (basil/parsley/coriander) depending what I'm cooking
 -Tinned chopped tomatoes
 -Whatever other stuff I'm running low on (pasta, rice, risotto rice, cous cous, bulgur wheat, etc.)0
- 
            ** Loads of fresh veg – aubergine (eggplant), courgette (zucchini), bell peppers, salad leaves, tomatoes, cucmber, beetroot, carrots, broccoli, cauliflower, onions, green beans, peas, cabbage, kale, pak choi, leeks, asparagus, avocado, spinach…
 ** Some fresh fruit to stir into my porridge in the mornings
 ** Bananas
 ** Greek yoghurt - I buy it in 1kg tubs, and use it in place of any yoghurt/sour cream/cream in recipes, as well as stirring into porridge in the mornings
 ** Eggs (Great source of protein, easy & quick to cook, always worth having half a dozen in the cupboard for those evenings where you need a quick, filling, healthy meal)
 ** Mushrooms
 ** Cheese (Sometimes – typically cottage cheese, or mozzarella. Sometimes I’ll buy a wedge of something really good and give myself 30g/day cheese allowance).
 ** Quinoa
 ** Tinned tomatoes
 ** Tinned beans/chickpeas
 ** Lentils
 ** Porridge oats
 That’s not to say my shopping list each week is identical. I get very precise about my grocery shopping – I plan my meals for the week, then look to see what I’ve got in the cupboards, and then go out and buy only what I need to make the meals I’ve planned. I make a list and stick to it when in the supermarket.0
- 
            We like to cook many different meals, and buy different things depending on the seasons and what's on sale. On a weekly basis, you can count on the cart containing milk, Greek yogurt, eggs (unless we get them from my husband's co-worker, who keeps chickens), bananas, pasta if we're running low or it's on sale, and whatever fruit looks good and is in season, and possibly half and half for my coffee; I only need that every few weeks because I use only a couple of tablespoons a day. Usually salad greens unless we're getting them out of the garden at the moment. We get most of our veggies out of our garden from May-October, but can't always keep up with the demand for salad greens. We make a lot of our bread, but buy hamburger & hot dog rolls because my husband has fallen in love with Martin's Potato Rolls.
 We tend to buy meat in bulk when there's a sale and freeze it--we have two chest freezers--so it's not necessarily on the weekly list. We buy coffee for me at BJs in bulk and Coke for Himself when it's on sale (I freeze the whole coffee beans and Coke keeps basically forever.) We buy our grains, beans, nuts, and oatmeal at a bulk store and store those in the freezer as well, so they're not on the weekly list but always on hand.0
- 
            Some of my staples:
 Bob's Red Mill Coconut Flour
 Bob's Red Mill Gluten Free Rolled Oats
 Celery Hearts, Lemons, Baby Spinach, Frozen Pineapple and Mango - for green smoothies
 Baby carrots
 Tahini
 Almond butter and Walnut butter
 Bananas
 Organic chicken breast tenders
 Fresh salmon
 Eggs
 Packs of Albacore Tuna
 Spring green mix
 Coconut Oil
 Pure Pumpkin
 Chia seeds and hemp hearts
 Tart Cherry juice
 Tilapia
 Zucchini and yellow squash
 Sweet potatoes0
- 
            Fruits/Veggies:
 mushrooms, courgettes (zucchini), peppers, onions, aubergine (eggplant), spinach, broccoli, potatoes, carrots, cucumber, tomatoes, bananas, apples, grapes
 (actually we grow our own so some of the time I don't need to buy or we have different things ready - squashes, tomatoes, cucumbers and raspberries at the moment :-) but these are my staples that I buy all the time if none are ready in the garden)
 Dairy:
 semi-skimmed milk, 0% greek yoghurt, Freddo bars (small chocolate bars - 95cals), light babybels, (non-light) cheeses - usually cheddar/feta/goats/cottage (not all of them every week, but I always have at least one/two types in the fridge)
 Eggs
 Bread
 Cupboard items I tend to replenish regularly:
 Peanut butter, Special K red berries, chickpeas, lentils, Velvet Crunch crisps/rice type things (84cals a bag), kasza/buckwheat, rice (I like Tilda's flavoured, microwaveable packets), dried tagliatelle, (I have loads of baking ingredients - flours, sugars, dried yeast, fruit, nuts etc, but these don't get used often enough to be replaced weekly!)
 Ready-made things I tend to have in for lazy/ill days:
 frozen pizza, tinned soup, veggie burgers (frozen)
 Spices - I make a lot of Asian type dishes so I always have a variety of spices in the cupboard - I get these in bulk from an Asian supermarket - much cheaper and better quality!
 I'm vegetarian so there may be things missing for you. I cook from scratch a lot so it's mainly ingredients, with a few conveniences and low-cal snacks.0
