Has your shopping list changed

[Peterborough Guy]

Just wondering if your shopping list has changed.

Can't believe what I pick up these days

I always bought the foods I'm buying now. What I need to get to grips with is buying less - half of my shop ends up in the freezer each week and I'm running out of space!

I'm the same as you Sarah. I still buy the same things and in the same quantity! I can't seem to get it into my head I can't get through all that food! My freezer is stuffed full too lol xx

I'm planning a week without shopping to clear some space, but it never seems to happen!

I've never used as much milk as I do these days.

I agree about milk.i don't really like it, but drink lots more of it ... Good source of protein, calcium and a bit of fat (I have semi skimmed rather than skimmed as in maintenance). Otherwise just much smaller quantities of similar food to what I used to eat. I could murder for a lovely medium rare steak though .... Shame only once in the past 26 months have I managed to eat one :cry:

In the old days I would occasionally do the food shopping on-line, and your previous purchases are already listed as 'favourites'.
It is horrifying to look at that list now and see what cr*p I used to buy on a regular basis - cream cakes, cookies, biscuits, frozen desserts, battered fish/chicken.

My shopping now takes place when I need it - and I spend about 30% of my previous spend.

Are the high-fibre products working Gary?

Oh yes, I'm in paradise now

I tend to buy better quality stuff now, but in much smaller amounts. Like everyone else has said, it takes a while to get your head around not filling up the trolley with vast quantities of food.

Even today I have filled the slow cooker with meat and veg and potatoes like I used to and my other half has commented that I have done enough to last the week! Looks like it will be beef casserole for the next few days!!

I buy the same thing and make the same amount but freeze one meal and then split my husband with him. So he benefits by smaller meals and I get all I need. Then every other week we only buy basics. It saves on gas cooking 2 meals in one go.

Asked my husband, and he said: "um....not really. We dont buy bread, and I suppose there is more yogurt and less chocolate now".

My shopping list now is only for healthy food and in very small amounts and even so my freezer is so full I skipped this week's shopping.
