Grocery List! What do you get?

liquid eggs
La Tortilla factory carb smart high protein/fiber wraps
fresh baby spinach
reduced fat feta cheese
fat free cream cheese
Blue Diamond nut crackers
fresh fruit/veggies
Kelloggs All bran buds or F-Factor Fiber Skinnys cereal
fresh roast beef from deli
weight watchers reduced fat smoky flavor cheese sticks

deli antipasto salad

These are my favorite things from Kroger.

I try to stay away from processed foods, fresh foods are your best bet, sweet ptotatoes, fresh veggies, fruits, fish, and meats. The packaged things that I do eat are my 100 calorie snacks, dried fruits, and for lunch at work a alot of time I have a frozen weight watchers meal ( just cauz it's easy). But other than that fresh fresh fresh.

I went shopping at the weekend to get:
Quinoa
Bulgar wheat
Soya mince
Lentils
Pearl barley
Cous Cous
Quorn
Peppers
Lettuce
Walnuts
Hazelnuts
Pecans
Cabbage and tonnes of other veggies!
I did buy some fruit but i want to limit that as sugar is the devil!

You don't know what you like to eat?

I follow a strict meal plan which really drives my list, but the one thing I pretty much always have on hand is Stonyfield Oikos Greek Yogurt. It's like a dessert to me. I've also been getting sugar snap peas recently as a snack.

I get:

Almond milk
Natural peanut butter
Feta or goat cheese
Strawberries, raspberries, bananas, oranges and apples
Celery, lettuce, carrot sticks, occasionally greens like kale or collard greens, and a few bags of frozen veggies
Low carb tortillas
Chicken breast
Eggs
Occasionally low sodium cold cuts
Greek yogurt (usually plain)
Jello sugar free instant pudding mix (I put it in my protein shakes a couple times a week as a treat)
A couple kashi frozen meals
Oatmeal
Tuna

I think those are pretty much my staples!

I usually get:

Fresh fruit (depending what I feel like, I choose between):
Apples
Bananas
Watermelon
Pineapple
Cantaloupe

Fresh veggies, mainly:
Lettuce
Zucchini
Pico de Gallo

Reduced fat crackers
Chunk Light Tuna in water
Light Mayo
Mustard
35 calorie whole wheat bread
Fat free turkey breast
Plain yogurt (Dannon fat free)
Low fat cheese (usually 4 cheese mexican by Sargento)
Thin corn tortillas
Garbanzo beans
Black beans
Chicken breast
Shrimp
Smart Ones/Lean Cuisine
Raw almonds
Eggs or egg beaters
100 calorie packs
Slim fast protein bars
Sargento Light cheese sticks
Yoplait light
Salsa


Some of my favorite snacks are zucchini slices and salsa, 5 reduced fat club crackers and tuna, and a garbanzo salad (tuna, garbanzo beans and pico de gallo).

I really like to make little tacos with the corn tortillas, and then poach and shred the chicken and mix it with a little bit of the plain yogurt (can use Greek too, but i prefer regular Dannon fat free) and the low fat Sargento Mexican cheese. They're pretty easy to throw together once you have the chicken shredded. You can just throw them in the microwave for 30 seconds and they're ready.


My diary is open, so feel free to check it out. Hope this helped!

*bumping for ideas*

: ))

I'm pretty budget-conscious so I buy whatever fresh or frozen meats, seafood, fruits, and veggies are on sale. My menu is then created by what I can score a deal on, which keeps it varied and gives me a chance to experiment with different ideas. Kroger has so many manager's specials in the produce section that my salads can be made pretty cheaply. Otherwise, I always keep peanut butter, protein bars, and greek yogurt on hand (chobani is my favorite). I just moved and there are no Krogers or Publixes, which were always my favorite store. I've yet to find an adequate replacement :-(

I go by the sales and today I got 3 kiwi for .69/3, got 6
colored peppers $1.69/3
Romaine Lettuce-$1.89/3 pack
big bag of navel oranges $1.49

I will also get free tuna (sale & coupons at meijer) and strawberries today.
I got milk yesterday from CVS using ECB's, but will go to Sam's probably Saturday for milk & walnuts.
