Can you share your grocery list?

Just want to see what everyone buys. I'm in a rut.

Re: Can you share your grocery list?

assorted in season fruits (and out of season if it's on sale..haha)
baby carrots
box of salad
beefsteak tomatoes
dried fruits (cranberries, raisins)
pine nuts
fiber one cinnamon delight
loaf of potato bread
milk
whole wheat pasta
sauce
soups-tabatchnick in the freezer are good
sometimes a mix of something from fantastic brand foods..
one new cereal every couple of weeks
honestly, i walk around some weeks and see if anything entices me...DH teased me because I bought fish cakes a couple of weeks ago, but it was a change of pace and it was good!

HTH-I'll edit if I think of more!

Re: Can you share your grocery list?

I shop at a couple of different places

BJ's:
all meat and chicken
romano cheese

paper goods
some drug store items
triscuits
various cheeses
salad dressing that I use as marinades
spices - SO much cheaper there!

and there's more... but I can't think of anything right now

Stop & Shop

deli cheese/meat
juice (for in between BJ's shopping)

baking items (sugar, flour, cinnamon, raisins, etc)
nuts
snacks
and pretty much anything else I am running low on when I go

Re: Can you share your grocery list?

it really depends.
I get 3 cooking magazines every month- every day rachel ray, every day food (martha mag) and bon appetite (i like to cook)- so i go through them, and my cook books, and make a menu for the week.
that way we don't eat the same old recipes, and I feel challenged in the kitchen.

Re: Can you share your grocery list?

I usually really hit up the produce end of things in a big way - salad makings, fresh veggies, and lots of fruit for the littles - oranges, apples, seedless grapes, kiwi, cherries, melon.

I swing by deli for Golden Classic Chicken breast for hubby and kids.

Meat usually lands some ground turkey in my cart. Cutlets are bought in bulk on sale. I will pick up chops or whatnot on sale.

1% organic milk - we go through about 3 gallons a week give or take a half gallon.

Yogurt. Dannon for hubby. Sale for me and kids.

Rye bread and whole wheat bread.

Frozen Diet entrees for my lunch during the week - whatever is on sale.

Orange juice - about 1 gallon a week.

Apple or Grape juice.

Half Gallon of whatever ice cream is on sale.

Goldfish crackers, pretzels, popcorn or some kind of munchy food for the kids snack.
