I Hate Grocery Shopping...

I never know what to buy, even when I have a list. Plus I never know what to make for meals.

What items do you HAVE to buy/have to have in the house?

In the freezer we usually keep:
Ground chicken, beef, and turkey
Some kind of steak
Chicken breasts
Shrimp

We keep various types of boxed couscous and easy side dishes in the pantry. Also, cans or boxes of chicken and beef broth. In the fridge we usually keep all types of condiments and mix-ins (ie, worstchire, low sodium soy sauce, mayo, ketchup, mustard)

I always have:
Chicken, pork chops, chop meat in the freezer.

In the cupboard:
Lipton pasta sides
couscous
Easy mac
Onion soup mix
french dressing
Cranberry sauce (smooth and chunky)
canned veggies
Artichoke hearts in water
bbq sauces of different styles


Since I have a TON of time on my hands, I do a lot of searching for recipes that I would like to try out. Nothing too crazy, just normal dinners without too much complication.

Would you like recipe suggestions as well?

I think a grocery list is a must...you will be organized and you will go in and out fast.
