What are your grocery store staples?

We have quite a plentiful store cuoboard. I make rough meal plans for my week and then buy accordingly.
My regular fridge items are:
•skimmed milk
•natural yogurt
•cottage cheese
•salsa
•courgettes
•peppers
•spinach
•bananas

We use storecupboard and the freezer a lot so I regularly have freshly cooked chickpeas, beans, quinoa etc as well as portioned produce in the freezer (herbs, berries, chicken, fish, bacon, bread)

We love to cook so having a well stocked kitchen really helps, and freezing bread etc means we get to eat it every now and then without wasting money on spoiled food!

Apples, strawberries, frozen berries, frozen bananas (like an ice cream yum) frozen portions of meat (chicken, salmon, fish, steak) greek yogurt, almond butter, 85% dark chocolate (VERY important!), eggs, tuna, green tea, sweet potatoes, brown rice, quinoa, oas, wholemeal pasta, canned chickpeas/tomatoes/beans, plenty if herbs and spices,, 2 vegie crispers ALWAYS full!
I suppose I like some variety
BUT, I think what's more important is what you don't have! No prepackaged, highly processed, high sugar/sodium/artificial foods! No sugary drinks, unhealthy treats, cereals and biscuits, processed meat etc. once you've stopped eating them, appreciating the taste of healthy food is so much easier!

Salad fixins, lots of them all prepped up like a salad bar...and cottage cheese, no salt added...surprised I got used to that. Fresh fruit, trail mix, protein powder, eggs, I hard boil a dozen to have as a quick snack, Nature Valley peanut granola bars..the protein ones with dark chocolate, Dannon Light & Fit Greek yogurt. Fish, Salmon filets can easily be defrosted and cooked in the broiler in minutes.

I once bet my husband I could have a healthy dinner ready in less time than it would take him to drive to Burger King and back to get Whopper meals. We had broiled Salmon, microwaved "baked" sweet potatoes with just a pat of butter and steamed veggies...and a bottle of wine as reward for not eating that crappy takeout.

The ones in the last group are dependent upon being reduced to clear at the supermarket. I've also got udon and soba noodles and rice in the cupboard. So there's always something to eat.

These are the basics that we almost always buy.

-Tortillas, hard corn taco shells, 100% whole wheat bread, brown or white rice, 100% whole wheat flour, dried beans (for soups, crockpot refried beans, chilis), pasta

Extras:
spice packets for things like gravy, tacos, chili. The ethnic aisles have fun liquid packets for Asian dishes like adobo, sweet and sour...low sodium soy sauce.

Frozen spring rolls as a fun side with dinners.
Frozen burritos for lazy lunches.
