i don't run a very regimented meal schedule. mostly mcgyver my grocery shopping around what's in the fridge that i would like to use up, plus whatever's on sale at the store, plus whatever i'm about to run out of/will need to complete whatever i'm thinking i'll make this week based on the first two factors. i think i also only think about three days ahead, because usually by the time i've used up three days' worth of things, there's a new crop of 'whatevers' left in the fridge for me to improvise with.

my other hangup is trying to make sure i'll have enough out-of-hand stuff to take to work. so lots of fruit and carrots lately. and i've started buying the kind of boxed cereals you can pour into a baggie and eat dry while you work.

For today (and most all grocery shopping days, tbh):

Salmon
Whole chicken
Bacon
Baby kale
Arugula
Microgreens
Celery
Cucumbers
Carrots
Pineapple
Feta cheese
Shallots
Ginger
OJ
Milk
Cottage cheese
Greek yogurt
English muffins
Dried apricots
Pistachios
Frozen berries
Rosemary
Thyme

I only shop the produce, meat, dairy section and occasionally the frozen and canned goods for certain items. Everything else I order off the internet. I can't stand the grocery store. The store that I shop at (for the best prices) is kind of like they opened all the cage doors at the zoo.

Bananas, broccoli, cauliflower, green onions, bell peppers are always at the top of the produce list and then I fill in with other veggies depending on the recipes that I fix.

Meats consist of chicken breasts and ground turkey. Occasionally I buy ground beef or some type of pork.

In the dairy section I hit up the cheese aisle, eggs, almond milk, greek yogurt, cream cheese and sour cream.

In my pantry I always have rice, beans, peanut butter, chicken broth, canned tomatoes, canned tuna, honey and all my baking goods. I try to buy all my staples online along with my cleaning and toiletries.

By ordering online I have gotten my weekly grocery shopping down to about 20 minutes.
