I live on my own and I'm out of groceries. Tomorrow I have to go shopping, and I never know what to buy. I always end up getting junk food or fattening stuff. Can anyone give me a grocery list that has healthy, sensible foods that I can prepare nutritious meals with? My budget is about 80 dollars.

Eggs are also good, you can prepare them really easily, toss in some cheese and vegetables and there you go, an omlette.
Like someone else said, lean chicken breasts. You can cook them tonnes of ways- with shake and bake, sandwiches, put them in tortillas etc.
I'd check out kraftcanada.com, it has recipes that are super easy to cook, often with only three ingredients.

well heres what we try to get...
*Lean, already cooked, sliced turkey meat. It can be from the deli or pre-packaged. It's still really healthy w/ lots of protein and its like 98% fat free. Not sure bout the price where u live but i think its a few dollars per pound or container.. (sandwiches)
*You can get lean, sliced chicken the same way ^ for about the same price..
*Whole wheat bread
*Veggies (for sandwiches, snacks, or side dishes)- ex: baby carrots, celery, tomatoes, bagged salad mix, lettuce, etc.
*Fruit
*I don't know if u like brocolli, but i always get some brocolli.. break it up into a bowl.. add a couple spoons of water and microwave for a few minutes til its cooked and soft, and then add Low Fat Velveeta Cheese and microwave til its all melted... MMM love it!
*Lean Pockets
*Fish
*Tomato soup and Chicken noodle soup (canned) are both really low in calories..
