Weird topic title, heh.
Are there things that you always buy at the grocery store that aren't "normal" staples (e.g. flour, salt, eggs, etc.)? I don't buy anything that's too weird, but whenever I go to the grocery store I always buy some fresh basil and almonds.
Reason for edit: "i.e." =/= "e.g." ;) - Cristy Either one of them sounds ok to me =P -Dee

I don't buy anything that's too weird, but whenever I go to the grocery store I always buy some fresh basil and almonds. I always buy almonds as well. They're very good for you (in moderation). Aside from cooking essentials (ie, flour, sugar, etc) I try to make sure that there is turkey bacon, carton of egg whites, Tapatio or Chalula sauce, a combination of fat free half-n-half AND flavored fat free creamer (typically vanilla caramel), balsamic vinegar, white vinegar (for cleaning out the coffee pot), turbinado sugar, sourdough bread, frozen french fries and hot dogs in the house. I go shopping on a weekly basis though, so if something is missing, not a big deal to pick it up next run. |

But, omg, chocolate covered almonds... mmmm.Aside from cooking essentials (ie, flour, sugar, etc) I try to make sure that there is turkey bacon, carton of egg whites, Tapatio or Chalula sauce, a combination of fat free half-n-half AND flavored fat free creamer (typically vanilla caramel), balsamic vinegar, white vinegar (for cleaning out the coffee pot), turbinado sugar, sourdough bread, frozen french fries and hot dogs in the house.

Possibly the worst smelling thing that I've ever come across. He eats them and drinks beer  I should add cottage cheese to my list. I hated it as a kid but now I eat it all the time. |
