They even sell my favorite chips!

As a chef and recipe developer, I test a constant rotation of products in my professional life.

But when it comes to our weekly grocery list, it’s nice to have familiarity and consistency.

I live in lower Manhattan, and there are three Targets within a mile of my house.

Nevertheless, shopping at Target for essentials anchors our diets amid the chaos of the new and unknown.

Here are the 15 things that are always on our Target grocery list.

Plus at $18.99 for a 30-ounce container, they’re a mind-bogglingly good deal.

Walk into any other grocery store and you’ll get a fraction of inferior nuts for the same price.

In contrast, I can get a family-size box at Target for a steal at $4.99.

Is this cereal gourmet or indicative of the composed dishes I pride myself in building?

Spindrift Sparkling Waters

My husband and I have a policy of generally not drinking alcohol on work nights.

Popping open a can of Spindrift scratches that itch, without the adverse effects of alcohol.

Mango is our favorite flavor!

Bananas

At 29 cents each, the bananas at Target are very reasonably priced.

Good & Gather Organic Baby Spinach

We consume a ridiculous quantity of leafy greens at home.

I can’t leave Target without these.

Oatly Oat Milk

I don’t know what to tell you.

I am a dairy-based organism.

There is not a single whisper of lactose intolerance lurking within my gut of steel.

Good & Gather Organic 1% Milk

Like I said, I am a dairy-based organism.

Good & Gather Riced Cauliflower

Another treat I share with Coconut!

Thisriced cauliflowersneaks its way into her dog food and into my nightly bowl of rice.

I’m always trying to amp up our vegetable intake!

Calbee Baked Shrimp Chips

I can’t believe I can buy these at Target.

They are my absolute favorite chips.

They’re perfectly crunchy, and you’d never know they weren’t fried.

Is this health food?

Is it good for the soul?

It’s definitely good for my soul.

Banza Four Cheese Chickpea Pizza

Chickpea pizza has no business being this delicious.

I don’t fully understand it, either.

Halos Mandarins

I keep these in a fruit bowl on our kitchen island to brighten up our living space.

They’re perfect for a bit of sweetness at the end of a meal.

King’s Hawaiian Rolls

These remind me of home, and Target always has them!

They’re so versatilegreat for making kalua pig sliders, French toast or even croutons.

Rosemary and Olive Oil Triscuits

For me, no other Triscuits will do.

This is the most enchanting variety of Triscuit.

They pair beautifully with ordinary supermarket Cheddar or with some of my favorite high-end cheeses.

I do not discriminate against any cheeseand neither do Rosemary and Olive Oil Triscuits.
