[quote=Anonymous]Well, it really depends on what you guys eat daily.   Do you usually make a protein, veggie, and starch for dinner?  Is your 3 year old getting meals in day care?  Or at home?  Or being packed to take?  I would start from your daily diet first.

I'll put out some ideas in case they sound appealing:

whole wheat pasta selection
beans, lentils, etc.
oats, oatmeal
chicken broth
canned tomatoes, tomato paste, and/or tomato sauce
flour (whole wheat and/or white)
sugar
baking soda and baking powder
salt and pepper
cinnamon
oregano (add spices as needed.  purchase from the ethnic market or the ethnic aisle in your store.  much cheaper than McCormick, etc.)

Then I'd move to freezer stuff, which keeps longer than fresh, of course.
Bagged frozen veggies that you like.   They are often cheaper than fresh, more nutritious than canned.  You can steam them, add seasonings, or use them in soups.
Cuts of meat, individually frozen.  I buy fresh chicken breasts on sale and freeze them separately, or two at a time, to make small meals

Then buy condiments you use often:
ketchup
mustard
mayo

And root veggies that last (if you use them):
potatoes
onions

Then buy fresh foods as needed, once or twice a week.
