There are times when I go food shopping and just get the basics for my family and try to get in and out as fast as I can (usually when I have the kids with me)!! Other times I like to take my time, planning new meals and picking up treats.

So, what are some of your staple items when shopping for groceries? Is
there something that you 'have' to get for your partner/kids? What do
you think about organic products? Let me know your regime.

If I am quickly going to the shops with no meal plan I usually buy as standard, milk, bread, stick of butter, 500g free range chicken, salad ingredients, onion, potatoes and some fruit I can usually come up with a meal and desert with that.

Where as if i am making a meal plan for a week i will decide on seven meals and make a shopping list of the ingredients that i will need.

If i have a shopping list i make a point not to go over the list i have made. where as if i am just popping in to get a few things for dinner i end up buying more than i usually would.

If I have my kids with me their harassment will usually lead me to buy an up and go, cashew nuts, strawberries, chips and cheese and bacon rolls which I usually wouldn't buy.
