What's on YOUR weekly shopping list?

What do you like or dont like? Tonight I made a very unhealthy meal but I make it once every 3 months since its really bad in cals and fat

milk is the first thing on my list. every time. I like milk. and lattes.

I buy the following on a repetitive basis, quantity varies depending what's left as inventory in cupboard or fridge:

Not a meal, but my new treat that totally helps me stay on track is Dole Dark Chocolate Strawberry Dippers. (They have bananas, too, but I am highly allergic.) They are an awesome nightly decadence. So Yummy!
Other "staples" are MSF Grillers Prime, Chicken, Nappa Cabbage, Grape tomatoes, Dannon Light and Fit Greek yogurt, SF Jello and seltzer water. :bigsmile:

Lunch:

Before dinner & after dinner:

Depending on if I'm going out or if I feel like a change:
Tabbouleh
Chilli tuna sushi
PB2


But then I buy daily... so daily is the chobani plain, chobani flavored (I buy 6 a day& eat them all), olive loaf (free so I need just pop into work on my way to shopping) chicken (had that daily since feb 8th 2012)

ground chicken/turkey
turkey sausage
milk
cheddar cheese, 2% string cheese,
water (our tap water is nasty even with a filter)
chicken breasts
fish

Always on the list! Usually end up with some fashion of spice rack item or condiment like bbq sauce or olive oil in there as well. Fruit depends on season more so now it's more the apple, banana, orange range vs summer where there's a lot of melon.

These lists are great!

Here's a few of my fav's to have around:

Egg substitute: REALLY low in calories and works great on those evenings when I want to eat something but don't have many calories left. You can also split it with a real egg and it has better flavor but less calories than two real eggs.

Canned Beets: One of my favorite low-cal items. They are sweet and hit the spot when I'm craving something to eat

Fish: I keep bags of frozen fish in the freezer. My favorite it haddock but they have ever type imaginable at Walmart and Sam's Club. Most can be found in individual portions which makes it super easy to have the right portion for your meal or snack

Sugar Snap Peas: These are great for when I get the "munchies". I sit with a bowl of these (at about 45 cal a cup) and munch away. They are usually sweet enough that I don't use a dressing but if I'm feeling a really big munchies coming on, I whip up some ranch dressing with low-fat mayo and eat away

Pickles: These are really low in calories and can hit the spot when I want something to munch. I also really like pickled asparagus and pickled green beans.

Low Sodium Vegetable juice: this is one of my new favorites. It is really low in calories and can be a nice change to water when I want something in my tummy

PB2: Great mixed into stuff for some PB flavor or a bit on it's own

Mine is so boring right now. It's basically 3 different types of in season veggies (right now it's been broccoli, green beans, and fennel), 2 types of fruit (a lot of kiwi and apples right now), jar salad fixings (kale or spinach with carrots and mushrooms), chicken breasts, coffee, canned tuna, frozen berries, almond milk, cottage cheese, and eggs. My husband is bulking and I'm losing, so we each have our meal plans that we're following and we're not being too creative with them right now. Usually once a week I make a really special meal or we go out, but for the most part this is what I get every time. I'll play around with what fruits and veggies I get depending on what's in season.

The crazy thing is that I made this list in the exact order that I come across the items in the grocery store! I guess I know my routine.

this is what I got yesterday as I try not to repeat too much one type of meat in one week

Ground Beef
Chicken
Sausage links and ground
Fish
Pork Chops
I also do pasta and sauce once a week and trying not to but pizza once a week also
Cereal
Peanut Butter
Bread though I eat whole wheat
Bananas yesterday and grapes
Water and whatever snacks my kid needs for school
and then whatever else my oldest wants since shes so picky


OP if you want any recipes that are new let me know what type of meats youll eat and Ill give you a cpl

I do a lot of my shopping at local farms and farmer's markets but with winter here that is not always an option. I spend most of my money on meat and dairy then head to veg and fruit. A sampling of my weekly trip, arranged in the order of the aisles of the store (yes, I am nuts like that):
