I'm struggling with buying the same thing over and over and over again at the grociery store! What's some unique products that you guys buy consistently that keep you healthy and happy? (I'm a vegetarian :) )

    Whole wheat 100 calorie flat bread. You can fill it, roll it up and be out the door with breakfast or lunch in hand.

    Walmart has had Chobani yogurt single sizes for $1 for a while. I'm pretty sure that my family of five has spent at least $200 on yogurt in the past couple of months.

    I've been buying a lot of dried beans and trying new crock pot recipes. I love to have bean soups or chili for lunch. They're easy, high fiber, good protein, and cheap, which is good because I spend all my money on Chobani.

    I also usually browse the Internet and choose at least two new healthy recipes before I shop.

    Cartons of eggs and onions. These two things are always on my grocery list. I'm vegetarian too.

    Half a dozen egg whites scrambled with veggies is our go-to meal at home if we are too tired to think.

    how vegetarian? I mean Lacto/Ovo, Pescetarian, Vegan?

    I'm not vegetarian and my main staples are eggs, chicken breast and ground turkey. So that's probably of zero help to you unfortunately.

    eggs and a lot of different vegetables. Omlets are relly popular with me but I will always have a basic salad too.

    Frigo Cheeseheads 50 calorie string cheese. I am a cheese addict. This gives me the delicious creamy goodness without all the calories.

    I have a pretty long list of staples:

    brown rice, quinoa, canned and dried beans (of all sorts), leafy greens (usually spinach, kale and/or collards), brussel sprouts, cauliflower, Flat Out brand wraps, carrots, onions, garlic, cocoa roast almonds, soy milk, various types of mustard, vinegar and hot sauce

    These are things that I try never to be without (excluded any non-vegetarian items)

    Edit: I forgot peanut butter!!

    Yum! I'm a lacto/ovo vegetarian, so eggs and whatnot are good for me! Although Ive been drinking almond milk, because regular milk is just nasty tasting and i need calcium! Good ideas though! And all simple, non-packaged food. I love hummus!
