Grocery fundamentals for a new apartment
I figured better to post this here than in Tilted Cooking.
I've finally made the move to TX and signed the lease on the new apartment. At some point next week when I check out of the temporary corporate suite, I've got to hit up the grocery store for the basics.
I've never lived in an apartment by myself, and one of my old roomates always seemed to have the basics of everything we needed, so I never really paid attention.
Can you help me come up with a list of "must have" grocery basics? From basic condiments to the obvious stuff I'm sure I'll be overlooking. Even recommendations on cheap cuts of meat that I can do a lot with (stir fries, etc) would be appreciated.
What I can think of thus far:
Olive oil
Butter
Salt/Pepper
Ketchup
Mustard
Mayo
Hot sauce
BBQ sauce
After that, I pretty much draw a blank. TFP, make my grocery list!
