Week 1 Shopping List

Week 1 Shopping List

NOTES:
• I have organized the shopping list by category and then within each category by meal. After each item you’ll see a number in parenthesis which corresponds to the meal number. That way if you decide a certain recipe doesn’t sound good, you can easily cross all the items from that recipe off the shopping list.
• Under Veggies/Fruit I have italicized anything that is a veggie or fruit but NOT found in the fresh fruits and veggie area of the supermarket.
• Please note I did not include any sides in the meals so add extra frozen vegetables or side salad ingredients to the shopping list as needed!
