Grocery List Must Haves

What are the must have items you always seem to get while grocery shopping. Also if you could post what stores you fnd the items at that would be great!

Thanks so much

I always try to keep refried beans, cottage cheese, cheese and greek yogurt on hand.

 Carb Master yogurt (Kroger)
Fresh mild beef sticks (local meat market)
Colby Jack Cheese (anywhere)
Turkey Lunchmeat (local meat market)

Arnold sandwich thins - in most bread isles - if you are a morning bagel person or a sandwich person - these are great toasted.  They come in multi grain, whole wheat and a whole grain white.  I have been having one with some light cream cheese for breakfast like I would a bagel.  Or smeared with some natural peanut butter.

Jif Natural Peanut Butter - apparently it is blended so it doesn't separate.

Carbmaster yogart from Krogers

Oscar Meyer Grilled chicken chunks - in the lunchmeat section.  Great for salads or quick fix meals

I shop only at Meijer and Trader Joes.
Every week I always get:

low fat cottage cheese
Ezekial bread
Kashi cereal
Dannon Light N Fit yogurt
Plain greek yogurt for making dips 
refried beans and all natural salsa
fruits and veg
sugar free Instant Breakfast
Drink mixers like SF Kool AId and Crystal Light
Cheese

Carbmaster yogurt (you've seen where :))
GoLean crunch and Fiber one
Fz fruit for my protein shakes
Fish
Steaks
Salad (lettuce and fixings), I didn't eat allot of salad until I was a year out, but hubby who's only 5 mo's out eats it all the time
fresh fruit
and I stock up on Crystal light and such at Target once a month, my fav is the stra/ban/orange Target brand.
We order our supplements and protein on line, or I'm sure they'd be on the list too.

I'm a month and a half out and still haven't tried a salad.  I'm afraid it will be too hard on my pouch.  Am I rightfully fearful?

I have been eating lettuce since I could eat normal foods.  I have never had a problem.
For some reason I can't eat a lot of apples with the skin or carrots without my pouch screaming at me.
Everyone's pouch is different....if you are curious you're going to have to test the waters.  Do it on an afternoon when you don't have anywhere to go.  If you eat it and it bothers you, then get rid of it.  It's worth a try....

You're right, it's worth it.  i love salad, especially with Big Boy's blue cheese dressing.

I can't believe you posted that!
Big Boy's blue cheese dressing is my all time favorite thing to eat in the universe.  No kidding.
