Hey everyone! My name is Courtney and ive been on WW since january. I quit for about 6 weeks but restarted today. Anyway. To get prepared for my upcoming and very exciting week, i have been making my grocery list. I was wondering what everyone else purchases and items they HAVE to buy everytime they go to the grocery store.. Thought it would be interesting to see! I was only 3 pounds away from my 10% goal when i stopped going (dang vacation)..but now im back and ready to get to it. I now have 11 pounds til my 10%, so that is my short term goal! Cant wait to get that keychain=)

Fruit/Veg. (Apples, pears, cauliflower, celery, asparagus... anything I'm in the mood for.)

The produce section is the one area of the store that I spend the most time walking through. It could be that fruit/veg is consumed quickly... or that I only buy a few days worth at a time... but it's always at the top of my grocery list.

LOTS OF PRODUCE!!!! I usually get spinach, mushrooms, broccoli, corn, tomatoes, onions, strawberries, pre made salads, and those mixed fruit salads.

Seafood - plenty of fish, crab, and shrimp.

Chicken - boneless skinless chicken breasts and chicken tenders.

Snacks - nuts (usually the Planters South Beach mix), peanut butter, and the jello sugar free dark chocolate pudding cups.

Brown rice and chicken broth - for my side dish.

ETA: Flavored water. I can't live without it!

I think that about sums it up....

Fruit and vegetables:
I always, always buy grapes. I'm obsessed with them and can eat a whole bag in one sitting! (although that's not very cost-effective, haha!)
Also, various other fruits, whatever I'm in the mood for really. Usually have apples and strawberries in my fridge. Just bought watermelon the other day-yum!
Spinach, cherry tomatoes, carrots (easy to throw together a quick salad. I also put spinach on almost EVERYTHING)
Onions (I like them grilled)
Baking potatoes (great with salsa for a very filling meal!)

"In the middle aisles"
High fiber bread (I like Nature's Own double fiber--I make low fat grilled cheese!)
Cereal- either Fiber 1 or Special K Vanilla Almond
Fiber 1 bars (what a treat!)
100 calorie bags of Kettle Corn
Caramel Corn rice cakes (great with light cool whip in the middle of them!)
Whole wheat pasta (good with olive oil/vinegar or marinara sauce, with lots of veggies)
SF FF Pudding-- all flavors!
Cans of Progresso WW soup--so good and 0 points for half the can!
Cans of pumpkin (great in smoothies)

Dairy
Fat-free shredded cheese
WW slices of American cheese (for my grilled cheeses!)
WW Yogurt--I live by this stuff. I eat at least 1 a day, sometimes 2. I eat them with fruit, cereal, in smoothies, yummm!

Frozen
Boca burgers
Smart Ones or Lean Cuisine pizzas
Frozen veggies to throw into meals
WW ice cream or ice cream bars. I love the cookies and cream bars, and the mint chocolate chip ice cream!



As you can see...I love going to the grocery

I eat a lot of the WW yogurt, too! My local grocery store has started carrying the WW cheeses and I keep them on hand. They are also getting in the Alternative Bagels which are big sellers. I often keep a small can of almonds in the car so that I can snack on a few if I get hungry driving home from work.

my grocery store doesnt carry the weight watchers cheeses=( I usually get the craft no fat though and its 1 point. I lovvve the ww muffins in the morning with some milk, they are sooo delicious! Another thing i ALWAYS buy is the little traingles of the laughing cow cheese, not sure if anyone knows what im talking about but they are so good and only 1 point per little triangle, they are really creamy and awesome! But anyway, Thanks everyone for replying! I think it gave me some insight to what everyone else is buying...i realized my list is pretty much the same with a little differences=)

Hope everyone has a happy week!!!!!

I shop the store perimeter--produce, meat, fish, dairy--and then will allow myself 8-10 items from the middle of the store. Those items are usually Bear Naked Fit Granola for breakfast parfaits, York Peppermint Patties for my favourite 1 point after lunch snack, coffee and diet soda.

I am re-starting WW myself, so this post is especially helpful.

The Laughing Cow cheese is really good for being as low fat as it is!

I love fresh produce, but I hate how fast it spoils when there is just one person eating it.

Good luck to you!

Boca burgers, boneless skinless chicken breasts/boneless skinless thighs, fish
