What are some things you like to buy from the grocery store?

Question

I'm a college student that has to go out grocery shopping next week. I generally buy the same thing every time, but I think it's time I buy some new stuff!

I will pretty much eat anything, and I'm always willing to try new things.

I'm not on a strict diet of any sort, but I do like to eat healthy.

I generally like things that don't take a lot of time or don't require uncommon separate ingredients (such as spices and whatnot). I like to just throw it in a pan/microwave/oven and it be done under one hour.

Here's a small portion of what I usually buy when going to the grocery store:
- Campbelle's chicken noodle soup & cream of potato soup
- Van Camp's chili
- mac & cheese
- spaghetti sauce & noodles
- lettuce
- tortillas
- baked potatoes
- tuna
- Hamburger Helper four cheese lasagna (doesn't taste like lasagna)
- Asian noodle bowels (not the ramen cups)
- Lean Cuisine

What do you generally buy every trip that you enjoy the most, or that you think I would enjoy?

- I'm on no budget
- Please include not only full meals, but snacks, breakfast foods, drinks, and anything else! :D

Answer 1

For breakfast, I like the Quaker Oats instant grits, and their breakfast bars (especially the chocolate chip ones). For quickie meals I like Zatarains boxed rice mixes, especially the dirty rice. And cheese. I'm always buying cheese. Some of that dirty rice and some cheese in a tortilla makes a great enchilada or quesadilla. I also usually pick up a package of mushrooms, a bag of spinach mix, and pastas. And green onions and lemons.

It seems like I'm buying all those at least once a week.

Answer 3

I'd never buy a Chevy at a grocery store, what was he thinking?? I bought some avocados and they ended up being all black inside. Not all of them, and not the entire thing, but enough so that 98% of them were wasted.

Answer 4

I love pasta so I usually get that. I also love Campbell's Chicken noodle Soup. (They are my favorite food). Another items I usually buy are soda, ice cream, turkey or ham of sandwiches, bread, fruits (apples, bananas, pinneapple, cherry, grapes, strawberry), Hot Pockets, eggs, Pillsbury ready-to-bakes, streak, potatoes, and a cake.

Answer 5

Sounds like a good list to me. I also buy fruits and pretzels, love popcorn. I love the deli dept. too. They always have great bread, cheeses, and lunch meat.

Answer 6
