Low Carb Shopping List

Last night I went shopping for staples. Not the kind you pick up at the office supply store, staples as in my food basics. While shopping, I was wondering to myself if most of us on a low carb diet stock up on the same kinds of things. For the most part, I realized when I got home that many of the things I shop for don't have low-carb on the label, but are naturally low in carbohydrates. I have begun to experiment with some designated low-carb foods, though, and will review them in future posts. But for today, I thought I'd share what my grocery list usually consists of. I'd like to invite comments for this. Please share with me some of your low carb shopping basics!

Here's my list:

Eggs (18, I hard boil half)
Jar of peanuts
Bag of mixed nuts
Cottage Cheese
Yoplait "low carb lifestyle" yogurt
Oroweat Carb Counters Whole-Wheat Bread
Peanut Butter
Yellow Pepper
Red Pepper
Cucumber
Bag of mixed greens
Bag of baby spinach
Wishbone Ranch Dressing
Ham
String Cheese
Cheddar Cheese
Cream Cheese
Salsa
Sour Cream
Low Carb Tortillas
Frozen Broccoli and Cheese (Green Giant)
Frozen corn
Chicken Breasts
Pork Chops
Sirloin Steak
Polenta
Pickles
Olives

(Ok, if this is a boring topic, let me know! But I thought it might be helpful to know what my low carb shopping list looks like.) Bring on the comments!
