The strangest thing happened this week. 😯 I went grocery shopping! I knew you’d need proof, so the Butcher captured this fun shot of me (below) “in action” -lol. Yup, unshowered and all! haha.
I threw my hair up, ran to the store, stocked up, came home & put the groceries away – and put a beef roast on for dinner… in 37 minutes flat! It can be done…
As you probably know by now, I rarely cook – and it’s even more rare to catch me in any kind of store. I do most of my shopping online, order take-out and grocery delivery, and otherwise travel and eat out. All low carb of course! 🙂
I have some fun travel plans coming up, but lately I’m working on things here at home. I got tired of eating the same things over and over, and ultimately ended up with BARE cabinets. So off to the store I went!
I thought you’d like to see what I got this week…
My Low Carb Grocery List
Obviously this list is not all-inclusive, meaning it’s not EVERY low carb item you might want on your grocery list. It’s just what I got THIS week.
When I first started eating low carb, I used this list of low carb foods. Then I spent HOURS in the grocery store reading labels, trying to figure out healthy combinations of low carb foods I might like. Now I just KNOW my favorites and can whiz through a store like I’m driving a NASCAR grocery cart, lol. 😛
Anyway, here you go:
- Bottled Water
- Coffee
- Coffee-Mate Sugar Free Hazelnut Powdered Creamer
- Diet Coke
- Sugar Free Mints
I don’t drink a lot of Diet Coke, but I do like half one now and then. That was probably one of my biggest habits & addictions to break, but I’m pleased to say I’ve gone from drinking 6 or more a day… to half a soda “now and then”. 🙂

Leave a comment and let’s expand on this list! I’ll combine all of our recommendations and create a “low carb grocery list” everyone can print out. 🙂
And stay tuned… I’ll share what I’m cooking up with all these awesome groceries in the next few posts. I mentioned I put the beef roast in the slow cooker when I got home from the store, so you’ll find that on my Facebook Page already. *cheers*
