    I go through phases but at the moment my must haves for snacking are mini single sized serving pots of houmous & ryvita thins & mini cornettos! love them!.

    More generally, at the top of my weekly shopping list I always have lots of mixed leafy salad leaves, little gem lettuces, sweet potatoes, parsnips, carrots, cabbage, sweetcorn, plenty of lean protein (whatever is on offer), spring onions, mini peppers, lots of whatever fruit is in season/on offer & always the basics, milk, bread, eggs.

    Arctic Zero Frozen treat 1/2 cup serving 37 calories (less than 150 calories in the pint) comes in multiple flavors
    if you are having a really bad day and need that comfort food indulgence, this is it with out the guilt or worse fat calories and 3 gr protein per serving

    Things we always have on stock in bulk:

    milk
    cheese
    cheese
    cheese
    low fat sour cream (no fat free stuff!)
    cream cheese
    chicken breasts
    ground beef
    potatoes - Idaho, new potatoes and sweet potatoes
    canned and frozen veggies
    salad - prefer baby spinach
    fresh white & yellow onions, garlic, tomatoes, carrots, celery + whatever's in season
    cilantro
    Olive Garden salad dressing + several other kinds
    taco shells
    tortillas
    salsa
    spaghetti sauce
    canned tomato products
    canned beans and dry beans
    pastas

    fruit - whatever's in season + apples and bananas

    and more cheese

    I've found that we use the same basic ingredients for lots of wildly different meals. I use Allrecipes.com for a lot of recipes, but also just Google. We also have a huge supply of spices - I'd say probably 30 or more various spices and homemade spice mixes. I work near a store that sells bulk spices and we just fill our spice jars as we need them.
