Today I bought onion, cucumber, parsley root, rutabaga, kohlrabi, garlic, mango, banana and pasta. Today was pretty typical, but shopping days are all different, depending on what I'm in the mood for, what's available/cheap/in season, what I'm running low on.1

Didn't know they had pepperoni sticks!0 -
I meal plan so whatever I need for the meals I'm making for the week go on the list. After that milk, eggs, apples/bananas are always on the list.
Then I buy items based on sales and coupons. Today I purchased turkey bacon, smoked turkey sausage, hot dogs, Tabasco, Greek salad dressing, applesauce, cheese snacks, shredded cheese, sliced cheese, pop chips, and pizza crust. Those were all items I had coupons for and were on sale. This changes every week, but I routinely clip coupons for coffee, cereal, yogurt, fruit snacks, granola bars, oatmeal... not to mention paper products, toiletries, and cleaning supplies.
I plan my meals around stuff I get for cheap i.e. based on this week, homemade pizzas, sautéed smoked sausage and cabbage... it's also a cheap way to get lunch box items i.e. Applesauce, cheese snacks, pop chips.
