Grocery list items that we always have: bananas, ground turkey, deli meat/cheese for sandwiches, bread, pasta, frozen veggies. I save on chicken breasts by buying the "club pack"/bulk pack so it's only like $2/lb compared to $4. My dinner ideas for the week are: teriyaki chicken, sloppy joes, spaghetti, and fajitas. Sometimes I try to only buy stuff that's on sale and then make dinner ideas out of that.

I've cut my grocery bill a lot by couponing, and by paying attention to the prices (food prices fluctuate a lot). I wrote about my change in my grocery shopping in my blog: https://beingwhatiwanttobe.blogspot.com/2009/11/little-change-gives-me-hope.html

I try to base my meals on the items I can get the best deals on. If I find a good price on something (especially meat), I will often stockpile (buy extra) and freeze it to use later.

What's usually on yours? In the winter: beans/lentils, stew meat, vegetables, ground beef/veal, carrots, onions, celery, potatoes, turnips.

Name some dishes you make. Soup (with the beans/lentils), stew, chili, long-cooking bolognese sauce. Pretty much anything that required the stove or the cooktop to be on for a while.

mickey84 · January 2010

items that are ALWAY on my list: Mini Wheats, cottage cheese, plain yogurt, a lemon, apples, bagels, spinach (wash it yourself and its waay cheaper) baby carrots, fresh ground coffee, V8 - these things i swear i buy every time i hit the supermarket!

Buy as much as you can in big club packs, like diapers, wipes, feminine products, detergents, ect.

i find these dishes inexpensive and yummy: soup - i make tonnes of soup, it goes a long way and its always nice to warm up a bowl for lunch or whatever, chicken fajitas - for the 2 of us i use only 1 chicken breast and lots of red/green peppers, chilli, salmon (with a dill sauce),

Easy dishes:

Salsa chicken

Baked ziti and chicken parmesan (I buy when cheeses are on sale, make a bunch and freeze)

We also love breakfast for dinner

minditronic · January 2010

I like to pick out new recipes and base my grocery list on that. Chicken breasts and ground turkey are usually on our list. Every now and then we'll get a pork or beef roast. We like to keep 5 out of our 7 dinners vegetarian if possible, but it doesn't always turn out that way.

Our dinners this week include: stuffed peppers, black bean cakes with baked sweet potato rounds, sweet potato chili, pizza, caesar chicken pasta salad, black bean soup with baked tortilla chips, eggplant scampi over couscous (we made this with shrimp for Christmas Eve and I thought I'd try a vegetarian version).

ETA: We keep our grocery bill down by keeping most of our dishes vegetarian and by shopping for our produce at the local farmer's market.
