milk, oj, eggs, bread, chicken breast, cereal, fruit, potatoes, salad mix, pasta dinners (for nights I work late) soup, french bread... Those are the usuals!
I usually go shopping like every two or three days and get things for the next day or two. Most of the time it's usually vegetables. Some things that I like to have on stock are:
- Ben & Jerry Low Fat Chocolate Fudge Brownie Fro Yo - Fat free sour cream so I can a non-fat dip for crudite - Tons of veges (carrots, green beans, asparagus, celery... blahblah) - Tons of salad things. I usually don't go too nuts with salad stuff.. just greens and then vinegar. - Skim milk - Whole wheat pitas (I like using these for sandwiches or toaster oven pizza)
I really like to cook so I usually buy as I need... I feel like I'm always going to the store.
i'm so bad when it comes to the grocery store. i don't really make a list and just grab whatever strikes my fancy. which usually means i end up with a ridiculously high bill. though i usually try to always have the following on hand
*sundried tomatoes
*dole organic greens for salad (spring mix with herbs is my fav.)
*crystal light
*roasted salt free soy nuts
*some sort of cheese, usually feta or gorgonzola
*oatmeal
*cereal (kashi, but i've recently discovered kellogs smart start. the soy protein one is really yummy)
*if it's a sunday croissants
*almonds
*vegetables (but i usually get these from the korean grocer)
man, mine's way too long to list it all but basically consisted of A LOT of veggies, salmon, shrimp, whole wheat bread, white wine (for cooking), beans (lima, red kidney, black-eyed), olive oil, wine vinegar, and lots of fresh herbs. i got soy milk last week & it lasts forever(not literally) so didn't need more this time.

ha ha -- i do the same thing when cool whip is in the house. i buy it once a year to make jello salad for thanksgiving (my grandmother used to make it and i do it b/c it reminds me of her) and after i use the 1/2 cup the salad calls for, i end up eating the rest. mmmmm, frozen cool whip with chocolate syrup ... it is highly disgusting but tastes soooo gooood.
