i'd also add
some chicken breasts with no hormones, etc. because they're easy to toss in the freezer and pull out when you want to add them to anything
eye of round steaks (work well in stews, stir fry or for dinner, and they're relatively cheap),
popcorn
cheese
herbal teas
cous cous (five minutes and it's ready)
hoppin' john (canned tomatoes, black eyed peas and onions, yum!)
cornstarch for when stuff turns out too thin
sriracha sauce (which no kitchen is complete without)
sesame oil for cooking meats
some kind of italian or the like salad dressing for marinades, too
cooking spray (pure olive oil is the best or just buy a Misto for your olive oil)
tortillas or pitas for easy sammiches.
and pickles. you need pickles.
