I like to preplan and cycle meals, 4 breakfasts, 3 lunches, and 5 dinners, bimonthly. I started doing this in college in order to avoid wasting food and it just stuck. I generally have each breakfast about 4 times, each lunch about 5 times, and each dinner about 3 times.
This cycle:
Oatmeal with dried cherries and protein powder
Hash browns and a boiled egg
Dry cereal
Protein shake
Asian pasta salad
Chicken pesto sandwich
Tuna sandwich with red onion
Shrimp scampi with linguini
Collard greens and smoked turkey
Pot stickers
Lemon veal with green beans
Green olive casserole
So, the item that occupies my grocery list most is pasta in one form or another. It's in the asian pasta salad, the shrimp scampi, and the green olive casserole.
