Ever lose your list for those very important items you need at the grocery store? Let’s meet a few goals here on this thread. Quickly jot down the item(s) you need here.

1. You won’t lose it.

2. You will be more accountable toward your healthy shopping (we’ll all see)

3. And we’ll all get ideas for scrumptious shopping

4. Last but not least, we’ll know you some more.

thread from 2009-maybe we can bring it current, if you choose(:

I do a similar thing as Godscreation- go organic food shopping first... and then other items around it ... (most food shopping is done at 1 store (favorite store)...at various locations )... We do big shopping every couple of weeks... we are getting it down to a science.

Lol Laurie!

First the night b4 I check all the adds to see who has the best sales and circle them all. Always put organic at the top of my list bcuz they are the most expensive.

Try to plan my meals and sometimes cook for the week and leave my own fresh frozen dinners or breakfasts in the freezer when I am too busy to cook that day. That way I control the salt, fat and sugar intake.

Always try to have organic fruits and vegetables ready for soups or stews or just to eat. Love it when I have coupons that’s a treasure for me. Recently I fell in love with fresh organic Baatard bread it is a step below french bread because it is made of wheat and very delicious. Sick of chicken at this point and my family is not to crazy about fish. My favorite is Halibut but it can get expensive. So tomorrow I will see what’s cooking!(:

Groceries I actually do need to get today on the way home from work:(what a God send this list is!)

-Apple cider vinegar (fininshed last drop last night)
-Grapes
- Peppers
-Mushrooms (chestnut or see whats on offer)
- Carrots
- Lemons
- Ginger
- Brocolli
- Tinned Chickpeas
- Puy Lentils
- Swiss boullion veg stock powder.

- Stop off in health food store to check for bargains/anything reaching use-by date and reduced!)

I secretly like looking in other peoples trolleys at the supermarket, this is even better.

My kitchen is almost bare but I kinda like it that way, it forces me to make something out of nothing and save $$$. My worm farm has been getting too many old veges lately, I’m better if I buy day by day.

Im going to make steak and onion rolls on saturday (a nice treat for my birthday :)) and rainbow pasta bake on sunday. So I will need:

2 small onions.
2 lean sirloin steaks.
wholemeal bread rolls.
tin of sweetcorn.
black pepper.
very low fat natural yogurt.

I already have pasta and things like peppers tomatoes and spring onions.
I may get some more fruit as well.

In response to best78’s post:

That sounds delicious. How about a baked potato to go with that and a large green sald with tomatos, cucumbers, lettuce, arugala, spinach, some cranberries, walnuts and a warm vinegarette?

Now I’m hungry,
Mary
