Week 3 Shopping List

NOTES

• The shopping list is organized 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.
• The shopping list assumes you have at least small amounts of flour, sugar, and cooking oil (vegetable or canola) on hand.
