Grocery shopping when you're on Weight Watchers is pretty much just like grocery shopping on any other diet or just grocery shopping in general. There are no hard-and-fast rules for taking your favorite foods out of your meal schedule. It's just a matter of finding out about your SmartPoints and budgeting it all into your day rightly. But, it should be very clear that the more lower-in-points foods you consume, the more you can eat in general.
Ready to make change happen? Begin by stocking your kitchen and pantry with foods for weight loss success. Here’s the ultimate Weight Watchers grocery list foods.

Store up on fresh vegetables. They are your best friends, and they've got 0 SmartPoints (except potatoes).
- Beets
- Carrots
- Celery
- Leafy greens
- Mushrooms
- Onions
- Peppers
- Squash
- Tomatoes
- Sweet potatoes: 8 SP
- White potatoes: 5 SP
Fruit
You just want to stock up on produce and when it comes to SmartPoints, fruit and vegetables are practically freebies. Everything here is 0 points.
- Apples
- Bananas
- Blackberries
- Blueberries
- Oranges
- Peaches
- Pears
- Pineapple
- Raspberries
- Strawberries
- Watermelon
Meat and Seafood
I like to stick to lean proteins and plenty of seafood, but there's nothing wrong with making a juicy steak from time to time.

Dairy
It's up to you to choose whether you like real dairy or dairy substitutes. For me, I generally stick to alternatives because dairy isn't a friend of mine, but you definitely have a lot of choices.

Bread
I still eat bread, and it blends well into my plan!

- Carrots
- Corn
- Green beans
- Kidney beans
- Lima beans
