Grocery List Templates For Healthy PeopleThe trouble with existing grocery store templates is that they all include foods that are off the radar for us smarter-fitter folk. No offense to lovers of fish sticks and soda pop, it’s just that people like me don’t want this stuff on our grocery lists. The problem isn’t that we don’t eat corn chips or tater tots. It’s that we don’t want to be reminded that corn chips and tater tots are within an aisle’s reach, and so are sour cream, shredded cheese, ketchup and mayonnaise. To save you time, calories and money, I bring you the Super Ultimate Grocery List Template. This grocery list will help you to

I like it. I would add a checkbox beside each one so I could print off a few dozen of them and stick them all to the fridge like a big post-it note stack. Then I could see which items I was actually out of versus what’s not, but all while seeing the whole list so I could choose to buy more milk even if I wasn’t out. And not have to see Cheese-its on the list. And not have to print another for a while.
I’ve been meaning to make one of these forever. Thanks!
Unfortunately my diet only consists of items bought from my office vending machine.
Would be good if this list was seasonal as well.
@Jason – good idea on the checkboxes, I’ll work on that and let you know when it’s done. Ditto for me on the Cheeze-Its. Man, I used to be addicted to those things.
@Real – you’re welcome!
@Cube – Unfortunately? Depends on the vending machine.
@johnac – Now THAT’s an AWESOME idea. I bit of a bigger project but I love it. I’ll do it. Stay tuned!
Drinking beer healthy?
Chocolate is missing!
@Felix – Drinking one beer a day can be healthy! =) Of course, if I buy a six-pack, it’s gonna be hard to have just one. Especially if it’s a six pack of Real Ale Fireman’s #4.
Good point about the chocolate. Mmmmm.
Soy is healthy and beef is not? I have stumbled upon vegetarians, vegans and raw foodists. More power to you, but is there a low carb, protein power version?
This would be more convenient posted as a Google Docs Spreadsheet.
I like it, *sigh* but I can’t afford fresh food outside of some bananas or apples each week. It’s ok though, having a bare cupboard tends to make me realise I don’t REALLY need something to eat most of the time.
Why not print out then laminate then use a dry-erase marker and reuse the list?
deodorant is spelled wrong
Ok, I’ll admit that I will never, ever, ever use this list as is. Yeah, it’s the lack of meat on the list (and tempeh, I had to look that one up). But! This is a good idea that I hadn’t thought of before. I think I’ll follow Leslie’s advice and make it a Google Doc so my wife and I can make our own list together while at our respective workplaces.
great list! I would say this to help curb impulse buys.
Eat before you shop. my wife and i along with the kids will go out to eat somewhere before we shop. I feel you shop smarter when you are not hungry
Most Soy products on the Market come from Genetically Modified soy beans and Soy is heavily subsidized by the US government .
Id rather have grass fed organic meat any day .
@matt – that’s true about soy, i forget about that living in the UK. we don’t like GMO anything here. it’s also worth mentioning in that vein that most soy products are highly processed into weird bad things Textured Vegetable Protein, Boca Burgers, Veggie Bacon, etc. That’s why my list limits these soy products to tofu and tempeh. All of our other protein comes mostly from beans. Given the choice between SoyDogs and Meat, yes I’d agree grass-fed meat is better.
Our website just started offering a shopping list widget that fills in your list from recipes. Check it out.
Monica… the list looks GREAT! I can think of a few items I’d add, but that’s the beauty of your list, it can be customized and modified. I do like the “check box” suggestion a lot. And would probably add spices to the list. I appreciate that you included pet and baby items.
And maybe some people could use a reminder to pick up condoms under the “personal care” category! Tee hee….
Curious wats bad about boca burgers. My daughter really likes them.
Colleen: Don’t get me wrong, I do like Boca Burgers and used to eat them by the box-full. However, they do contain lots of processed stuff like “soy protein concentrate” and artificial flavors. How “bad” this stuff is mostly a matter a subjective opinion (though there’s probably some research out there to attach some facts to this). Nowadays, I try to limit my diet to whole foods (which is why I’ve been looking for a boca-like burger recipe). I’m sure a boca burger won’t kill me, but I’d rather eat food where I can identify all of the foods listed in the ingredients!
loved it so I linked to it.
I always wanted to have a list like this. I just was never sure what should go on it.
You can flip it over and put what you really want on the back
