    I go to different stores to save money on stuff. For example, I hit up Costco for berries(Giant clamshell for $3), bananas, salad, and water. For more variety of fruits and veggies, like ones I will only eat once or a few times a week I go to an ethnic grocery store.We have many where I live. I either go to a Korean or Mexican grocery store. Their produce is much much cheaper. I also find seafood/fish to be very affordable at my Korean market. I go to Kroger for frozen dinners, fiber bars, greek yogurt, almond milk, cereal etc.

    I make my grocery list a bit differently.
    I go in the kitchen and see what i need to make breakfast every day in the upcoming week. Do we need cereal? milk? yogurt? etc
    Then I move on to lunch. What do I need to make lunches all week? Sandwich fixings, soup ingredients etc.
    Suppers. How about meats, starches, salad fixings and other veggies? What do I need to make the meals?
    Lastly, snacks. Fruit, popcorn, Cliff bars, whatever.
    I think in meals and what I need to complete them.

    Every two weeks, I spend around $50 on groceries. I divide my grocery list and my cupboard by protein, grains, fruit/veg, dairy and other. To save money, I make my list while looking at flyers and also keeping in mind what I already have. I walk farther to the mall instead of the grocery because there are a few stores that I can visit to get the best deals. (I'm not a vegetarian, but I do find I save more money by eating lentils and beans instead of meat!)

    I usually have:

    -coffee
    -tea

    -skim milk
    -yogurt or cottage cheese (but right now I have both because they were on sale!)

    -carrots
    -something green (pepper or broccoli or zucchini usually)
    -either salad greens or spinach
    -a frozen veg (usually peas or corn)
    -apples
    -bananas
    -some sort of citrus fruit (a bag of oranges, or grapefruit)
    -some other sort of fruit (I change it up... grapes, or avocado, or pears)

    -a loaf of bread
    -brown rice (or whole wheat pasta)
    -hot cereal (Red River)

    -tuna or eggs
    -almonds
    -lentils and beans (dried and canned)
    -peanut butter

    -a snack for busy days (either granola bars or dried fruit)
    -dark chocolate

    Awesome. I was just trying to make a shopping list, and was getting stuck. So I decided I would post this question on the forum and see what kind of replies I get. But I did a search first, and found this! Thanks everyone, what a great site.
