    When it comes to stuff like meat, veggies and bread, I prefer to buy fresh than to stock tons in the freezer. I just find it tastes better fresh. I try to buy local and whatever's in season, which is definitely easier in the summer.

    I was just living in a teeny-tiny apartment with a roommate in grad school and this was my staple shopping list:

    Coffee
    Creamer - real dairy creamer
    Ground beef - split into ~roughly~ 4-5 ounce servings and put in little sandwich ziplock bags and frozen.
    Spicy ground sausage - treated the same as the beef
    Chicken breast strips - two or three per ziplock bag frozen
    Bell peppers
    Asparagus
    Garlic
    Tomatoes
    Cucumbers
    Zuchinni/Yellow Squash
    Bananas
    Apples
    Onions
    Potatoes
    Eggs --- lots
    Crystal Light - or similar drink mix to put in my water
    Tea - Earl Grey and Mint
    Pasta
    Tomato sauce
    Popcorn
    Olive Oil
    Cheese --- I would buy cheese that was on sale a lot. I love brie and they would put those little rounds on manager's special sometimes so I'd get it for like $3. Otherwise I'd get blocks of hard cheddar cheese.
    Bread

    I'm a food hoarder... I always have a lot in stock, especially for winter emergencies or periods of time with no employment.

    You would be shocked if you knew what i keep or how much of it i have at once.
