What does your weekly grocery shop look like?
Replies
-
We buy groceries every 2 weeks but there's always mostly meat and frozen veggies, plus my 280 calorie smart ones meals. Lots of soups too. I go myself once a month and that's always a run for canned goods and more meat and bottled water. Now that it's summer we'll be going to the local Amish vendors at least every other week for zucchini and other veggies that just won't grow in our garden or isn't worth the effort. We planted asparagus but it'll be 3 years before we can eat it so we get 2-3lbs every 2 weeks.
My parents get a half gallon of milk and i get a half gallon of almond milk and at least one box of honey bunches of oats.0 -

We (two of us) first hit the produce aisle and half (or more) fill with cart with veggies. We often have a meat-free cart, buying meat when it's on sale and dividing into portions for the freezer. We spend relatively little time in the aisles for such things as beans (canned and dried), coffee, tea, oatmeal, etc. And then we head to dairy where we are in "Danger, Will Robinson." Almond milk for him, lactaid for me, yogurt for both and butter. Then we must walk by the cheese on our way to the nuts. It is a dangerous gauntlet that leads past ice cream on our way to the registers, We try very hard not to look to either side.
And we just won't talk about the horrors that occur in our monthly trips to Trader Joe's! Dark chocolate peanut butter cups are crack!0 -

I plan out weekly meals (dinners for the boyfriend and myself, plus work lunches for myself) then make a list specific to that week, but weekly staples that I must have are:
strawberries
apples
peaches
bananas
baby spinach
hearts of romaine
sweet potatoes
milk
eggs
Greek yogurt- usually a big tub of plain or vanilla, plus a few other individual ones that are on sale
shredded cheese (if I bought a big bag the week before then I may not need to buy more)
boneless skinless chicken tenderloins (usually about 2 pounds)
some other meat- turkey, pork loin, seafood, etc...
Tyson frozen grilled chicken breast strips (for on the go salads)
fiber one/ Special K snack bars and fruit snacks
Special K fruit and yogurt cereal
some sort of cracker thingys- totally varies but some days I just need something a little crunchy (this week it's BBQ goldfish)
box of Skinny Cow ice cream or frozen Greek yogurt bars
I also make sure that I always have vanilla protein powder, oats, baking/ pancake mix, granola, frozen blueberries, carrots, brown rice, tortillas, bread, salad dressings, bleu cheese crumbles, and a few boxes of chicken helper- definitely processed, but not that bad calorie wise and actually pretty tasty, plus some days I just don't feel like cooking and this is better than eating out IMO.0 -
