    Fresh produce and lots of it! I keep the freezer stocked with lean meat and fish. Keep lots of fresh veggies on hand and I can survive. Oh, wine and beer too.

    The fixings for my breakfast sammich :) I never tire of it and it keeps me full. So that's 100-calorie Thomas English Muffins, cheddar cheese, some sort of ham, and eggs (but I have chickens so that's not on my shopping list). I'm opportunistic on the rest of the food choices.. small food budget and four people to make it work with.

    Fresh vegetables.. or frozen depending on the season and current prices. My last trip to the grocer broccoli was on sale.. so I had the produce guy to back and get me a 22 pound case. That's our families favorite vegetable. I buy based off the sales flyer. I bought a 50# case of bonesless skinless chicken breast when it worked out to $1.50/#. I bought 20#'s of 97/3 (extra lean) ground beef when it was $3/#. I buy beef when it's on sale. Favorite meals are meat, vegetables, and either potato or rice. So I just have that in mind when I'm shopping.. and what I have stocked up in the pantry and freezer.

    Fruit. Especially grapes. Especially crushed grapes. Especially crushed grape juice. Especially crushed grape juice that is fermented. More simply put: Wine. I save room in the calorie budget for it on weekends!

    I make a lottttt of sauces so my sauce supplies are what I stock up on: honey, maple syrup, dijon, olive oil, soy sauce, sesame oil, garlic, balsamic.

    I also love the bumblebee sensations tuna packet - not the lunch kit with crackers because the crackers aren't worth the calories IMO. The Thai chili is good and I also like tomato basil. They're like 80-90 calories, mostly protein. I buy 10 at a time!

    Always have to have coconut oil, cook with it all the time. We also eat a lot of brussels sprouts and parmesan cheese.

    Cheese and yogurt. I always stock up on Greek yogurts since they freeze well (little change in texture does not bother me) and I have to have multiple types of cheese in the fridge for myself

    I plan my meals and write a list based on what I need, and I always bring the list, so I don't tend to forget anything, and I can't name "one thing" either, but I love to share my inventory :D I have weekly themed dinners, 2-4 for every day of the week, so I cycle through "everything" every 12 weeks. I alternate and rotate more randomly through different items for other meals, and will eat perishables every day until it's gone, then buy something else. Some things last longer so I don't buy it as often, but it's just as important.

    This is constantly in my meal plan:
    Whole milk.
    3 different kinds of rye crispbread.
    Sliced bread, pita bread, tortillas.
    At least 2 different kinds of sandwich spread (cheese, fish, meat).
    3 different kinds of fruit: Apples, pears, melons, pineapple, grapes, oranges, plums...
    3 different kinds of raw vegetables: Carrots, broccoli, cucumber, rutabaga, beets...
    Starchy vegetables: Potatoes, sweet potatoes, corn on the cob.
    Vegetables for cooking: Onion, garlic, mushrooms, celery, celeriac, peppers, asparagus, parsnips, artichokes...
    Canned tomatoes.
    Dried beans and lentils.
    Frozen vegetables: Peas, green beans, spinach, edamame, brussel sprouts.
    Frozen berries: Strawberries, blueberries.
    Butter, olive oil and rapeseed/sunflower oil.
    Condiments: Mustard, ketchup, mayo, vinegar, honey, maple syrup...
    Sugar and salt. Herbs and spices. Cocoa, coffee, tea.
    Meat: Pork chops, lamb chops, chicken thighs or wings, beef chops, ground meat (beef, pork, lamb), bacon, ham.
    Fish: Salmon, herring, tuna, trout, mackerel (frozen, fresh, smoked, canned, pickled).
    Shellfish: Scampi, mussels (usually frozen).
    Eggs.
    Grains: Wheat flour (white and whole), oatmeal, rice, millet (jasmine, basmati, arborio), barley, semolina, millet, polenta, pasta, rice noodles, corn, tapioca.
    Seeds: Sesame, pine nuts.
    Nuts and nut butters: Peanuts, cashews, hazelnuts, pistachios, almonds...
    Greek yogurt, or dessert cheese: Brie, Roquefort, Gorgonzola...
    Other: Pickles (pickled cucumber), Ricotta, parmesan, coconut cream, canned vegetables (asian/wok), dried fruit, jam, Weetabix, cream, soy sauce, stock cubes.
