items My go-to grocery staples. I prioritize products with simple, recognizable ingredients and minimal additives, and I look for packaging that’s recyclable in my area (glass, cans, #1 & #2 plastics). Nothing fancy—just choices I feel good about that ...

I am not above shopping at Walmart. I try to make a trip about once a month to pick up staple foods and household goods.
I love Smash Kitchen's mayo and mustard! They have short ingredient lists without a bunch of additives, and I can get the mayo in an easily recyclable or up-cyclable glass jar.

I loved Wickles for their pickled okra and did a happy dance in the aisle when I saw they had relish on the shelf! I make tuna several days a week and relish is a must for that, but I was disheartened seeing that every relish available has yellow dye...
Wickles® Original Relish 16 OZ
This one is pricey but man it is worth it. I love the values this company stands behind and their efforts to have more sustainable practices that are better for the planet and the fishies. The finished product is also delicious, and I find that I don...
Albacore Tuna - Wild Planet Foods
Brianna's offers a pretty wide range of options to choose from and I seem to find something new every time. We almost always opt to try a new flavor and haven't been disappointed yet. These can be a little more pricey but I think definitely worth it,...
BRIANNAS Fine Salad Dressing
Honestly, Celestial tea is a classic, no frills kind of tea. I appreciate that the tea bags are not individually wrapped and they have so many options to choose from. I just made a cup of Sleepytime tea as I write this. I recently discovered their wh...
Celestial Seasonings
Another brand with values I can get behind and feel good about. I go through a ridiculous amount of maple syrup it seems and this is one I keep going back to. The price is about on par with the other options, they come in glass bottles, and the label...

A lot of off brand and cheaper cream cheese options have a bunch of additives that I try to stay away from. I thought I would just have to give it up unless I wanted to splurge on $6 cream cheese but then Bettergoods came in with another win. I am so...

I haven't made it to my sourdough era yet as far as making it myself goes but I am here to support Publix's sourdough bread. Everything else I've seen still has really long ingredient lists and this is the cleanest one I've found yet in chain stores....
GreenWise Organic Sourdough Bread | Publix Super Markets
This one is my favorite wheat bread option. It's available at a great price point for quality bread without the ridiculously long ingredient list. I like to pan toast a piece of bread in butter and top it with cream cheese, spinach, avocado, and ever...
GreenWise Seeded Wheat Bread | Publix Super Markets
We love to keep a couple of these on hand for those days we don't feel like cooking. Our favorites are the white pizza and supreme. Pair it with a kale salad for a more well rounded meal on those lazy days.
Newmans own pizza
I pretty much only buy this when it's on BOGO. They offer plain and vanilla flavored yogurt. I appreciate that it has so few ingredients and it is so tasty. All yogurts I've found so far use #5 plastic which isn't recyclable in my area (including Sig...

Elderberry syrup is one of my favorite parts of the colder months. I love making a big batch to keep on hand for myself and to share with others — it’s become a little seasonal ritual I really look forward to. Using dried elderberries makes it easy t...
Frontier Co-op Dried Elderberries, 16oz, Non-GMO
Making elderberry syrup definitely isn’t cheap if you’re buying all the ingredients in-store, so I was really happy to find star anise in bulk at such a great price. It adds a warm, flavorful touch to homemade syrup, and a little goes a long way — I ...
