I've always been curious...

1. What plan are you following?
2. What does your typical grocery list look like?

For me...
1. I'm calorie counting
2. My typical grocery list looks like:
1% Milk
WW Bread
Rice Cakes (low fat)
Medium Eggs
Chopped Romaine
Bananas
Mandarin Oranges or Tangerines
Baby Carrots
Mushrooms
Tomatoes
Salad Dressing (creamy, but low-cal)
Instant Oatmeal
A plethora of soups (condensed or hearty)
Onions
Raspberries
Kiwis
Yogurt
Skim Mozza
Rice
Chicken Breast (skinless/boneless in the bulk pack)
Lean Ground Beef
Steaks (I trim the fat myself)
ICBINB
Frozen Peas, Corn, Broccoli, and Brussel Sprouts
Turkey Pot Pies (low fat for those days I don't want to cook)
Potatoes
Jell-O

It's not always the same, but generally this is what I buy at some point during the month.

What about everyone else?

How convenient! Today was my food shopping day so here is what went into my trolley this evening:

Oh...I count calories

Apples
Bananas
Mango
Nectarines
Peaches
Grapes
Pineapple
Rockmelon
Mixed baby leaves
Tomatoes
Onions
Capsicum (green & red)
Zuchini
Soy & Linseed bread
low-fat soy milk
no-fat yoghurt
Tofu
Gnocchi
Dried fruit mix (for making muesli)
Eggs

And thats about it for this week...sometimes I might have fish or meat in there but nothing appealed tonight.

Livi

I'm on a plan of my own design and it has evolved over the past 3 years...
light vanilla soy milk
egg whites
non-fat yogurt
sring cheese/shredded cheddar
frozen vegetables
soup
ground turkey (when I do buy meat, which isn't often)
bran
bananas
carrots
tomatoes
bagged green
apples
oranges
Naked juice
celery
parsley
beets (as of late)
cantaloupe
seltzer water
pickles
"meal" stuff- whatever I'm making for Sunday dinner

You girls are giving me some ideas...

Okay I calorie count

Grocery List:
- Fruit, 2 per day varies with what is in season....orange,
apple, banana, cantaloupe, watermelon, honeydew melon, all kinds of
berries, pineapple, grapes, kiwi, peaches, nectarines, plums, plouts, lemon,
limes (keep a fruit bowl in my office and collegues come by to get some,
subtle way of letting them know not to bring me sweets)
- Veggies: bagged spinach, lettuce, broccoli, cauliflower, cucumbers,
carrots, celery, tomatoes, avocado, mushrooms, onions, garlic
- Canned green beans
- Black Beans
- Fatfree refried beans
- Salsa
- Chicken breasts
- Some type of fish for two meals
- whole wheat flour and corn tortillas
- eggs
- fat free milk
- fat free yogurt
- fat free cottage cheese
- low fat shredded mozzarella cheese
- Triscuits
- whole wheat pasta

and then what might be on sale or I find interesting.

I won't tell you what I by for my husband, I put all his junk food on the very top shelf that is above my eye level in the pantry so I never see it. He even forgets it is there sometimes, but he does have his cravings for junk food sometimes.

I went yesterday, and from what I can remember:

1% milk
ff yogurt
light string cheese
lean pork chops
a few lean cuisine meals (they were on sale!)
frozen cauliflower
fresh zucchini
bagged lettuce
apples
tomato
clementines
soups
sf popcicles
raisins
wheat bread
lf lunchmeat (turkey)

I can't remember more, though I know there was more. Hmmm. It was a pretty thorough grocery shop, so I know I'm missing stuff. That's pretty indicative of a usual shopping trip... Sometimes more veggies, sometimes more dairy (cottage cheese), sometimes cereal, etc....

I'm a calorie-counter and a vegetarian.

Last time I went grocery shopping, I bought...

1% milk
sharp cheddar
skim mozzarella string cheese
1% cottage cheese
lf plain yogurt
butter - I love the real stuff, so I use it in extreme moderation
tofu
lf cool whip
fresh salsa
apples
bananas
acorn squash
yams
cranberries
clementines
potatoes
broccoli
cauliflower
frozen strawberries
frozen corn
frozen peas
frozen spinach
ff refried beans
tomato paste
tomato sauce
diced tomatoes
spinach pasta
orzo
olive oil
sun dried tomatoes (not in oil)
lf coconut milk (for aloo gobi)
peanut butter
granola bars
honey nut cheerios
wheat bread

What a great question.. I just got back from a quick run to the grocery store
