What are your staple items that you buy weekly?

I'm trying to get a routine going when I go food shopping. What are your staples? Tia

Re: What are your staple items that you buy weekly?

Apples, cheese, bread, milk, English muffins, salad veggies. We don't even put that stuff on the list anymore because we buy it every week and are on autopilot to get those things.

Re: What are your staple items that you buy weekly?

Milk, cold cuts, bread, salad stuffs, yogurts... those are the essentials...


however ive made it a habit of picking up 1-2 boxes of pasta, a jar of sauce, frozen veggies, random side dishes.... just to have a stocked kitchen.

Re: What are your staple items that you buy weekly?

Hmmm- it kind of varies
We dont' always use milk- sometimes we go through a kick where we eat cereal but other than that no milk.

Yogurts
frozen lunches for me(like healthy choice or smart ones)
sometimes cold cuts if we are on a kick.
eggs
Baby food
bananas for DH

We eat very oddly so you really can't go by us.
Last night I ate dorritos for dinner.
We just dont' have a normal life!

The only things I buy weekly are:

Greek yogurt

I buy veggies and fruit too, of course, but it varies depending on what's in season and what I'm cooking/baking that week.

Veggies: Mushrooms, salad stuff, carrots, potatoes, zucchini or eggplant...lately not much eggplant since the harvest has been bad so it's really pricey.

Canned pineapple...I plow through a few cans a week. Love it.

Cheese
