Grocery List: Week 1

Grocery List for Week 1: Cheeseburger Soup, Burritos!, Breakfast Casserole, Chicken Yum Yum

Print this list. Cross out what you already have in your kitchen. Add other items for breakfast and lunches. Remember, Croc Pot cooking produces a lot of left overs! Go to the store and pick the stuff up before cooking day. I shop at WalMart usually (unfortunately.. haha) so I tried to order this list according to the store. Start in the produce end at the freezer.

Onion (a bag)
Potatoes
1 bag baby carrots
Celery
2 green peppers

Jar of minced garlic OR a head of garlic

1 pkg bacon

Dairy/Fridge Section:
Shredded Cheddar Cheese (2 small bags or 1 large..)
Burrito Sized Tortillas
Skim Milk (or whatever you prefer)
18 Eggs (the recipe for the week takes 12 and you don’t want to be totally out of eggs..)

Aluminum Foil, Freezer Gallon sized baggies

***Here's another tip. When you're at the grocery store, load the items onto the belt how you WANT them in your bags. Not all cashiers are that swift, and if you come home with canned goods in with your bread, I think it's partially your fault. Put them in the following groups in this order so stuff doesn't smash in your cart: cans, boxes, milk, fridge items, produce, bread, eggs. This will make putting away your groceries a breeze when you get home! :)
