    Interesting. The only things that are consistent in my grocery list are eggs and salad greens. Everything else changes, although I usually do keep some cut of chicken, some sort of fish, some sort of rice, some legumes, and a variety of veggies. Oh, and some sort of ice cream or frozen yogurt. That's a must.

    Every week: various types of vegetables and fruits (depending on what kind of dish I want to make that particular week), one type of meat protein source, one type of plant protein source, rice, and one nutrition bar as a treat. I have a very limited grocery budget so I don't really buy snack foods....

    Why has almond milk become so popular? I've never found a reason to buy it, esp. since it has hardly any protein and I gave up cereal a long time ago.

    Is it just to use in place of milk for fewer calories?
    I use Organic Almond Milk in cooking. I don't use cow's milk because I don't believe that drinking milk from another animal is healthy for humans. It isn't the protein I'm looking for, you can get that from many different sources.

    I feel the same way. Babies are meant to drink Breast milk. I don't feel like we should be drinking any animals "Breast" milk. It seems unhealthy. It's a personal preference. Almond milk actually has more calcium in it then cow's milk too.

    I am an almond fetishist. Most nuts actually, but I cant have many kinds in the house cause one of my kids is dealthly allergic to peanuts, and peanut contaminated stuff.

    So I get almond milk so I can have almond flavored coffee. I also buy blue diamond almonds, and hershey milk chocolate bars with almonds.

    We are vegetarians, and we are budget conscious. I buy food in catagories, and stock up during sales.

    Protiens-
    beans, cottage cheese, yogurt,reduced fat cheese, cows milk for the kids, eggs, protien cereals, soy protien shakes/bars, meat subs, tofu

    Fruit- fresh, frozen, dried, or canned in water

    Veggies- fresh or frozen, and starchy ones like potatoes as well.

    Bread/grains- cereals, granola, whole grain breads/tortillas, rice,pasta

    Fats and oils- nuts, margarine spread, mayo,cream cheese, hummus,guacamole

    other- spices, sauces, wine...etc
