What does your weekly grocery shop look like?

shopped yesterday (will last longer than a week for the most part for 2 of us - all I need rest of month is probably bread, produce)
we sale shop - on hand I already have eggplant, romaine, lemons, garlic, baby carrots, many canned goods, meat in freezer that includes chicken leg quarters, salmon, partial boston butt and more.

I buy extra on sale for later - and we just eat through it. I also only get paid monthly and do not live where there are good grocery stores so I tend to make a monthly trip for a big haul.

In addition to these items - we have a new organic farm nearby that is just starting to sell produce today - hubster is getting yellow squash and zucchini from them (wish I knew they had zucchini - wouldn't have bought any yesterday). I often buy eggs from an free range egg lady but haven't made it her way lately.


eggs - 2 dozen (had some already - so there's a good egg stash)
yogurt - lots - 28 single serv tubs I think - low carb version for him, greek for me, a couple "treat" version for me
