ughh I hope that's it. This is going to cost a lot, but at least I'll get lots of exercise hauling all this stuff up four flights of stairs.
Man, I'm so jealous of you guys! I'm in college right now with no access to a good supermarket (or a place to store even half the stuff on the shortest of lists!) Can't wait until I'm settled in my own home... I'm such a homebody :)
My general shopping list:
Kale or spinach
carrots
beets
celery
broccoli or tomatoes
avocado (delicious!)
turnips
oranges
apples
bananas
canned beans
miso (for miso soup)
unsweetened soy milk
brown rice
onions
unsweetened Kool-Aid packets (I sweeten the Kool-Aid with stevia)
ETA: I don't bother buying bread, because I make my own now. It's a lot cheaper, and I don't have to read the ingredients list. I use this recipe for no-knead whole wheat bread - it's really really easy, and it makes nice basic whole wheat bread.
