I need help making a grocery list for my new place

[JenBKR]

Fresh fruit, lunch meat if you eat it, canned soup (good for a quick meal). I would recommend that you not spend the entire amount on groceries all at once. Instead, put half of it aside for a few weeks or so from now. If you buy too much now, some might go bad. Are you only shopping for food, or do you need other things, like toilet paper, napkins, paper towels, toiletries, cleaning products, etc.? I'll try to think of more too.

I'm only going to buy small amouts of stuff that'll go bad.. but canned/boxed/frozen goods last forever.

Totally forgot about house supplies!!! I need those too!

I have TP in my car trunk hehehe

Ok good! I was apparently craving fruit once when I went to the store and bought too much - some of it went bad before I could get to it. I always learn the hard way

I'm not much of a fruit person, so I only buy 1 thing of bananas & maybe 1 or 2 green apples. I wont eat more then that in a month or 2... I find fruit too sweet, so its just not my thing.

Ziplock freezer bags -- that way, you can bulk cook things like spaghetti sauce and freeze them.

I'd not go crazy the first time, just buy what you want to use and eat that week and the staples, and you can add more, like spices, as you find you need them.
