Post your Grocery List!

[Komadori]

I know we all have various foods we put into our daily diet, but I was curious as to what everyone has on their list when they go shopping at the grocery store. It seems, especially lately, that our cupboards at home have been relatively bare, save for some processed dry and canned goods. (Eek!)

We did go grocery shopping today, so it's better. Bell pepper, cucumber, lettuce, some ground beef (we still have frozen turkey from Thanksgiving, so less chicken for now)....

I am missing my avocados... Definitely putting that on the grocery list.

So! What do you buy at the store for your needs? And does it change much depending on bulk time or cut time?

My BF is eating 3000-4000 calories a day right now, so we buy A LOT of food since we both prepare all our meals from home instead of going out for lunch and what not. I always feel like we get weird looks at the grocery store when were buying our produce, exp when we're both having apples for the week or something, we end up buying 14 of them! lol

We buy meat when it's on sale and freeze it so we don't always buy that weekly. The majority of our list is fresh fruits and veggies and some frozen veggies, low fat dairy (skim milk, greek yogart, cottage cheese and string cheese for him), high protein/fiber cereals, lots of eggs, ww wraps and lots of seltzer water.

I have a coffee farm with roughly 2200 trees, so this of course is also free.
I trade coffee for free-range, grass fed steak--free.
I get eggs from my chickens, but I sell those because the thought of eating them makes me nauseous. So I prefer to buy the eggs that grow on trees instead. :P

Wow! Thanks everyone, for posting your lists! This helps a great deal. I'll be sure to figure out a good list to present for the next grocery run, for sure.

I guess it wouldn't hurt to look in my book on how various fruits and veg affect health functions in the body, too.

Okay. Got some rep points tossed to some of y'all. Gonna have to wait for the rest.
