Grocery list staples!

Apples, carrots, celery, potatoes, pears, kale, swiss chard, frozen berries, yogurt, butter, cream, frozen veg, broccoli. We have meat in the freezer, eggs from our chickens, and are well stocked with rice and beans. Those are the basics for what I eat, the kids and hubby have a few other basics that I don't eat, like apple sauce, bagels, pasta, sauce, and juice.

My groceries are delivered to me by a local food co op (direct from farmers). My usual shop includes:

-A box of fruit and veggies, whatever is in season. I don't get to choose which saves me on cost.
-Milk
-Raisins
-Oats
-Eggs

Then if I want meats, there is an organic butcher near my uni that has the best meat I have ever tasted. I don't eat that much meat but I will shop there once or twice a month.
