I use this menu list to help prepare our grocery lists, since we do our main shopping only once a month, or every three weeks, depending on doctor appointments.  I am unable to shop, so Jim has the entire job, so it's of added benefit.  I can make sure all groceries are separated into categories in the store so he doesn't have to go through the entire list for every item.  He just has to go to the bakery section, and can get all that we have on the list for that section...  It's a great help, and while I keep coming across things I haven't included here, it is still a big help.  You are welcome to copy and use it for yours, with whatever changes fit your diet.
