Good thread...how many times a week are you all going grocery shopping? Do you think the list helps keep you on track? It seems like Im at the grocery store everyday if Im not at Super Wal-Mart in the grocery aisles.

I go shopping once a week if we need anything. I have a menu planner that I fill out Saturday night for the following week. If I have all the ingredients I don't go shopping at all and will just send my husband to stop after work for fruits and veggies. Make a list and stick to it. Also don't take your cart down the aisles. Park your cart at the end of the aisle and go directly to what you need. This will help prevent impulse buys because you won't notice everything else on the shelf.

Shopping the perimeter of the store is the best you can do, it's all the fresh items. I usually go down the cereal aisle to get oatmeal, the pasta aisle to get spaghetti, and the soda aisle to get bottled water. Most everything else is purchased on the perimeter.

I love reading all of the lists! Great thread and great ideas. Thanks all!

I get our eggs from my father who gets them from an Amish farm--we also got about 80lb of beef in different cuts this month as well.

veggies: spinach, green peppers, red peppers, onions, cucumbers, radishes, baby carrots, mushrooms, avocados, edamame (they sell it at Trader Joe's - amazing!), hummus (Sabra is an awesome brand for this! can spread it on tortillas when making wrap sandwiches, or use w/whole grain crackers), green beans (canned), corn (canned)

fruit: apples (honeycrisp... mmm), bananas, kiwi, oranges (sometimes I'll randomly get other kinds, but mainly those at the moment)

dairy: low fat cottage cheese (i use this as salad dressing), fat free shredded cheese, weight watchers string cheese, low fat yogurt (Yoplait has a Cinnamon Bun flavor - yum!), fat free milk, eggs, butter spray

grains: whole grain everything... bagel thins (by Thomas), bread (usually Sara Lee), english muffins (Orowheat), tortillas (for tortilla wraps:), crackers, Kashi GoLean cereal, pancake mix, Uncle Ben's 90 second rice packets (these go great w/the tilapia!)

meat: 93/7 beef, boneless skinless chicken breasts, tilapia filets, extra lean teriyaki pork tenderloin (by Hormel - yum!), chicken sausage (by Al Fresco - they have a variety of flavors), turkey from the deli for sandwiches

other/snacks: non-hydrogenated oil peanut butter (Skippy Natural), plain white popcorn + popcorn seasoning (they sell a variety of seasoning flavors that add flavor w/out a bunch of calories), almonds (1 oz of almonds is a good afternoon snack:), sugar free syrup (for the pancakes:), i also consider flavored coffee a "snack" (LOVE coffee - Folgers Gourmet = good flavors:) and add Splenda to it
