I'm not sure, if
this post interests anyone, but I just wanted to share with you what
my typical supermarket shop for a week or so contains. I normally do
a big shop on the weekend, but I might have to add some items to
those during the week. As I have quite a well equipped dry cupboard
with different spices, flours, pulses, pasta etc., I don't often need
those items from my local supermarket. My shopping bag normally
contains quite a lot of fresh vegetables and fruit, which was the
case again yesterday. I also buy my regular basics like cheese, milk and
yogurt weekly. Milk I mainly need for my morning coffee, sometimes
for baking too. My standard weekday breakfast is Greek yogurt with
berry powders, fruit, granola or flaxseed.
Here are most of
the items that I bought this time, but I might have forgotten some:
Bell peppers, butternut squash, continental salad onions, portobello mushrooms, mini plum
tomatoes, pineapple, pomegranate seeds, shallots, garlic, potatoes,
black grapes, watercress, Curiosity Cola, Orchard Pig cider,
halloumi, White Fox cheddar, vegetable stock cubes, breadcrumbs,
coffee, milk, eggs, Greek style yogurt and buckwheat noodles. I'm
sure you will soon see dishes cooked with these ingredients on the
blog.
I would be very
curious seeing into your grocery shopping bags, so please share links
below in the comment box, if you have posted about the subject, or
just tell me about your typical buys.

This is actually a very helpful post, so thank you!
ReplyDeleteMy grocery shopping isn't as beautifully organized as yours, but I've been working on that! Hahaha
The usual things though are tomato, onion, potatoes, spinach, cheese, and tortillas.

Those are good basics, tortilla is a bit of a rarity for me, but the others I purchase almost every time. I'm glad if you found the post helpful.
Deletewho doesn't like to peek in someone else's shopping trolley! My basket often has some vegies, fruit, tins of vegies or beans, oils, milk, oats, cheese, tofu and hummus but my supermarket visits can vary - I go through phases where I do lots of little shopping trips and then other times I do a huge shopping trip..
ReplyDeleteOh yes, I forgot the tofu, which is also quite a frequent purchase of mine. My visits can also vary, now I've been more just a weekend shopper. However I never have a huge shop these days, as I don't have a car and have to carry it all home, my two large bags will have to do + possibly my partner has to believe in it. :)
DeleteThis is really interesting! Our staples are quinoa, oats, tinned tomatoes, coconut milk, eggs, wholemeal bread flour, cheese, beans (tinned & dried), salad, tomatoes, carrots, beetroot, peppers, onions, sweet potatoes (and then we mix the rest of the veggies up depending what's on offer/in season) and fruit 'wise: bananas, satsumas/clementines, apples, lemons and blueberries. Oh and the biggest pot I can find of Total Greek yogurt! I'm sure there's loads more though - we have a big Ocado order mid-week and then seem to do lots of little shopping trips on the weekend/after work
ReplyDeleteThank you for your comment and I'm glad you liked the post! Your shopping sounds amazing, so much lovely fruit and veg. I thought that I might do another post about my dry cupboard stuff. :)
