[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It's a grocery store Op.. You treat it like any other grocery store shopping trip.  Your college seriously can't buy tortillas and ground beef, or pasta + marinara, or a baguette + meatballs, or the like?

And there's a decent selection of ethnic food in the frozen section that usually changes weekly. Our local Lidl had Greek items not too long ago  for example[/quote]

OP here.  Yeah, sure my 19 year old kid can buy some food and cook it up, and he's fine for breakfast and lunch foods. But we were looking for good foods to buy from his nearest grocery store.

Lidl is the grocery story he has easy access to, but it isn't one I ever shopped at before, so I was just wondering if anyone had some ideas of good products that are usually (reliably) carried by that store.  Particularly items that would be the right portion for just one person who was just learning to cook for himself.  I.E buying a large amount and then repackaging it into individual portions is just not likely to happen, at least not this summer.

So, we did go to Lidl today to scope it out.  Items that seemed good (but it remains to be seen if they taste good) included:

- individual portions of salmon and Aldi's brand teriyaki marinade or lemon pepper marinade
- 10 oz frozen bay scallops and linguini
- frozen mixed vegetables for grilling -- PictSweet brand -- seasoned with olive oil, salt and pepper 
- bag of Taylor Farms Ginger Stir Fry Mixed vegetables (fresh -- easy to just saute what you need)
- frozen Italian style meatballs (remove just what you need for your meal)
- Next Wave brand -- frozen shrimp and sliced peppers, red beans and spices for tacos or fajitas. (Perfect for one person -- if they are any good)
- Frozen Thai yellow/red curries with vegetables
- frozen duchess potatoes -- just remove what you need
- frozen chunky chips -- thick cut french fries basically
