Market pulse

What’s hot and what’s not in this week’s grocery diet.

Week of November 2, 2026. Hot: ground turkey, mushrooms browned in the pan, a pot of lentils, and collards. Not: gravy, stuffing, cranberry sauce, and buying the pork chop again just because last week was good. One item on each list is public. The rest of the brief is $10 a month.

The chop sat this week out

Last edition was pork, cabbage, and white beans. This cart is ground turkey, mushrooms, lentils, and collards. Shop it on Sunday. The turkey is the spend. Nothing on it is gravy.

Two more notes this Monday.

Inflation, fake sugar-free syrups, fiber theater — members get the rest before they shop.

Buy and cook

  • Ground turkey, because the chop had its week

    A pound and a half of ground turkey is the spend, and it should be named that way. Last week’s protein was the chop.

    Brown it, mushrooms in the same pan, lemon. No gravy.

The rest of what’s hot is paid.

Titles you can guess. The why — and what to buy this week — is the brief.

Not

Leave on the shelf

  • Gravy, because the calendar says November

    Jarred gravy is starch, salt, and often sugar. The holiday is not this week.

    Lemon. If you want the jar, call it a side you did not plan.

The skip list is the other half.

If you can read every ‘not’ for free, nobody pays. Members get the week’s actual leave-it list.
