Grocery List Staples

[mosdub]

When I don't plan I get:

deli meat
bread
milk
eggs
sweet onions (put them on and in everything)
string cheese (I EAT THEM ALL THE TIME)
bananas/apples/fruit that sounds good in the moment
avocados (if they are on sale)

Do you have any dietary restrictions?

NO!!!! I finally got my biopsy results this morning and I do not have Celiac's as they previously thought. The blood test still came back positive, but they think that was just a false positive from the RA. Such a relief and I am soooo glad I pushed for a repeat biopsy. They're still not sure what caused the first one to be positive, but I don't even care. I can keep eating all the gluten!

I'm the type of person who goes to the store multiple times a week for small shops because I'm always forgetting something. I'll shop and then by the end of the day, I'll have 10 things back on my list :-( I don't get it - we have a CSA and lots of farmer's markets so I rarely even need to buy much produce. But I love grocery shopping so I don't mind.

What we always seem to need are:
-yogurt for me
-yogurt and milk for DS
-baby carrots
-granola bars
-string cheese
-pasta
-pasta sauce
-candy to satisfy my sweet tooth (desperately trying to cut back here though)
-cookies
-ground turkey or meat for a meal that week
-chicken breast
-marinades
-raisins
-waffles

OMG I forgot about string cheese. On my list 100% of the time. However, it basically is only in the house until the next morning when I take it to work.

Add me to the La Croix problem support group! Pamplemousse and peach-pear are my lyfe.

My list is maybe a little weird because we eat a ton of fish and a fair amount of vegetarian meals. We will usually go to the fish market, buy in bulk (5-6 pounds at a time) and then vacuum seal packets to eat later.

Over the course of a week we also usually buy and eat:

- sometimes shellfish (mussels, clams, shrimp etc)
- lots of greens: kale, arugula, bok choy, etc.
- lots of beans: garbanzos, lentils, etc.
- broccolini

<----Did not know this existed, and is also thinking of changing her screen name.

Also broccolini is very tasty.

5? In one week?! Wow!

Yeah, I'm an adult who still drinks chocolate milk almost daily..  

The local creamery by me sells the most amazing chocolate milk. I get it once in a while as a treat. My stomach couldn't handle it every day.

We've been buying Horizon Mac and Cheese lately because it has been on super sale.

Can't beat 25 cents a box.

Where is this amazing sale?

I live in East Bumblefuck. Food is relatively cheap up here.

[GOmamab15]

Whole coffee beans,
1% milk,
sausage,
eggs,
cereal,
apple sauce,
Cottage cheese,
Yogurt,
Cheddar cheese,
Some fruit
rice,
beans,
tuna,
Annie's Mac n cheese,
Coke,
sparkling water

These are most of the staples and then we also get ground beef or chicken breasts/thighs or pork shoulder and whatever veggies go with. We started growing lettuce this year so we don't have to buy it but I forget/ want to mix it up so I'll still buy some.

We don't have a huge pantry because I meal plan and generally only shop for what we need for the week. I'm no good at throwing something together last minute with no plan, unless it involves frozen pizza or brinner. I've never done a stock up sale or anything. I'm hoping to get a deep freezer soon so I can go to Costco or BJs to stock up on meats and frozen veggies.

In our pantry guaranteed:
Spices
Garlic
Flour
Sugar (brown, white, powdered)
Jasmine rice
Instant mashed potatoes (not the greatest, but cheap and easy when lazy)
Pasta
Whole wheat tortillas
Coffee

On our list weekly:
Eggs
Whole milk (I usually only buy one gallon, but we always end up being another by the end of the week)
Yogurt (for me)
Cereal
Deli meat and cheese
Various fruits/veggies
Chips (for SO's lunches)
Bread
Water (although this is usually every other)
Half and half
Whatever we need for dinner that week dinner-wise (including meat)

[mikaela20]

Aside from the usual veg,fruit and meat I usually make sure I have
Chicken/beef stock
Canned crushed tomatoes
Tomatoe paste
Kidney beans

If I have those items I can make anything in a pinch with food I have in the fridge. Stew, chili, stir fry, soup etc.
