Whenever I hit the grocery store, there is one thing that will always be in my cart - Diet Coke. I am practically addicted! I don't think I could live without it? Do you have something like that? Is there some grocery item that you just can't pass by without putting it in your cart?

Grocery items which I cannot live without are rice, sugar, wheat flour and maggie. Other things which I always put in cart are chocolates which I love eating a little after food.Another item is tea leaves which I cannot live without.

I think the one grocery item that I can't live without would be FOOD, lol. Seriously, I don't have an item that I totally could live without. If I had to cut one item down, I am sure I can find an nutritionally equivalent substitute. I think I would have a hard time without raisins, bananas, or potatoes, but I have gone without all three of those from time to time and I always seem to make it.

Everytime I go shopping I usually have to buy some Fruit Punch Gatorade. I can't pass that up at all. I usually get the gallon jug of it and it usually lasts me a few weeks, sometimes less depending on how much I drink. Sometimes I go ahead and buy two to save myself some shopping trips. I like drinking soda myself but since I have a cafe that I eat at every day, I can usually save quite a bit on soda by just drinking it at the cafe. Oh, I can't forget lunch meat. I love to make sandwiches. Sandwiches are my ultimate snack food. I'm not sure why I like eating them so much, but I do like to eat them so I have to buy lunch meat and bread pretty often as well.

I have to have sweet potatoes and thats winter and the summer time. I buy them every other week but prices are expensive (1.99/ pound) so I go where I know the sales are. My boyfriend has to have peanut butter and I find it so strange because he craves it and has it every time he comes home from work. He just eats tablespoons of it out of the container and sometimes combines it with icecream. It sometimes bothers me because PB has hydrogenated oil but he seems fine by it. i myself feel like Im addicted to icecream because even though I do not buy it every week after a month of trying to avoid it I just HAVE to have it.

I love the bags of salad mixes. I try to eat salad everyday. I also make sure I don't run out of canned Tuna, that's a staple in my house, along with the mayo.
