Wow! Lots of excellent suggestions!
Dietary no-no's?
I leave anything with hydrogenated oils out of the basket. They're bad, they're nothing but trouble. Sugar is also a no-no when I go shopping. Salt, I don't care so much about. I exercise a lot and I sweat badly when working out - once, my doctor told me I was low on sodium!

I also tend to shy away from instant meals like TV dinners and canned goodies.
No McDonald's, ever! The nearest one is 15 miles away, so I'm glad for that. I can't pass up a good KFC, though.
