What is the first thing you have to buy when getting groceries?

Milk

[timandvicky1]

Probably for my husband is always Milk & Bread, but for me it is lettuce and potatos, I am a vegetarian and try not to eat to much wheat either...therefore we eat so differently.

I usually run out of milk first so most of the time it is my top priority.

Probably Milk, the area where I shop the milk, cheeses and bread are in the same Isle, so that are the normal three thing I buy and they are close to each other.

Vegetables are the reason I walk into grocery stores more frequently.  Something I am cooking for dinner is what makes me walk into a grocery store.

Fruit for me - I've gotten in the habit of making homemade fruit smoothies for breakfast, so fruit is the first to go in my house.  Followed by milk (which is also used in the smoothies).

I usually go for the shelf stables first, to get it out of the way. The produce second, then the meat, milk and whatever else.

Milk

Same here.  With growing boys, we go through about a gallon a day.

Once I'm past the deli and the goodies, it's vegetables and fruit - so that's what I generally buy first.  Sometimes I don't get past the goodies though without grabbing something.

Eggs for me....as long as I have eggs and grits, I'm happy.....

I uselly hit the pharmcy first and then work my over to staples and then the fresh meat, frozen items and then the veggie and fruit section. I only but once a month and out of town. Once in a while will buy milk , meat, veggies at localgrocery store. But it is so much cheaper for the rest of it out of town. always combine my trips ,like the dr. and other reasons when i do go. Saves so much even with gas and lunch.

I am constantly buying cat food!  The Fancy Feast company must love me!  Other than that, I need coffee and tea!

Because of the diet I am on, the first thing we buy is bacon. 

Bacon, Heavy Cream, Sour Cream, Milk, Eggs.

I am on a high fat diet, called the Ketogenic Diet.  I don't think I will ever get tired of bacon.
