Current Events > When you go grocery shopping what are some essentials you make sure you have?

(+) Yeah! (+)

Tomorrow after work I'm gonna pick up some groceries but I've always wondered if I'm "doing it right"
No one really taught me what I should/should not be getting.

Typically one grocery shopping trip leads to me getting:

1. Milk
2. Bread
3. Cereal
4. Chicken Breast
5. Rice
6. Frozen Pizzas
7. Pasta
8. Marinara Sauce
9. Coffee
10. Cat food
11. Peanut Butter (if empty)
12. Tuna (and mayo)
13. Some sort of snack (apples, bananas, a bag of mini candys, rasin cookies)


What are some things that you guys pick up? Any ideas for food would be welcome. I'd like to try some new things. Also what should I get for a snack? I've been wishing I had something to eat late when I play games with my boys, and usually I have like an apple or something but again I wanna try something different

1. gatorade (useful to drink after long walk)
2. Soda (obviously to drink, along with water)
3. frozen meal of some kind (whichever is on sale)
4. this vary's (dessert item) usually some cookies or ice cream (uncommon)
5. as needed (dog food which is highly important). wont let my dog starve ever.

i have things i buy every month at costco but that isn't factored in (typically lunch and dinner items).

my gf is vegan so life is hard.

Lots of vegetables and fruits and weird stuff normal people don't eat. I'm no vegan or even vegetarian, but I hardly buy any meat products in supermarkets anymore. They're nasty as fuck.
