Fresh Start in the Kitchen- Gimme Grocery List Ideas!

First of all, congratulations on purchasing a home!

I find one of my most useful kitchen purchases outside of actual food to be a small chest freezer. I do quite a bit of meal prep.

Are you in the US? If you are go to a whole foods or a grocery store with bulk bins and get the following:

Rice - I like a mix of brown basmati, red, and wild.
Lentils - I like red and yellow
Beans - kidney, white, black
Pasta - some sort of whole grain. Preferably tri colored cuz its pretty.
Egg noodles - the large kind I associate with american food and the thinner kind for stir fries.

Spices and Condiments - I find these to be best and cheapest at middle eastern, indian, or mexican markets, but I've found good deals at whole foods too. Middle Eastern/African/Mexican - Cumin, Coriander, Paprika, Garlic, Ginger, and whole/powdered: cinnamon, cloves, cardamon, canned chipotles in adobo. Asian - White pepper, ginger, garlic, sesame oil, soy sauce. Other - rosemary, thyme, oregano, basil

Depending on your freezer space you may want to stock up on some frozen items. I usually keep a large bag of mixed frozen veggies, corn, strawberries, and other fruits not in season on hand. I also buy my meat in bulk and portion it into reasonable sized portions in freezer bags.

I also like to keep a few things around for quick meals. Jars of good quality marina sauce, stir fry sauces, etc. I roast a chicken once or twice per week and can throw the leftovers in anything. I will also prep a few portions of vegetables each week and put those into the freezer. Then when I'm running low on time into the crockpot they go!

My most used non food items besides tupperware are a julienne slicer, a hand held mandoline slicer, peeler, good tupperware, and freezer bags.

I try to keep these things always in my house. Then once per week I go out to get fresh fruits, veggies, milk, cheese, bread, and fresh herbs (dill, parsely, cilantro, mint, scallions).

a few fresh fruit - what you like - say 6 apples, 6 bananas, one box of grapes (or how you like).
tomatoes
cucumbers
lettuce
cabbage (i buy the shredded and make a big batch of slaw)
onoin
garlic
hot peppers
potato (keep in the fridge)
I make soup every week in the winter so - squash, zuchhini, cauliflower, mushrooms, celery.
sometime i make roast veg so eggplant, peppers (if you like, i don't), fennel, sweet potato

bread - buy sliced and keep it in the freezer

dairy -- cottage cheese, yogurt, milk. shredded low fat cheese

eggs - make up a bunch of hard boiled and keep on hand for snacks

canned tuna
tomato paste (look for those without added sugar)

fresh chicken
