Welcome to Smogon! Take a moment to read the Introduction to Smogon for a run-down on everything Smogon, and make sure you take some time to read the global rules.
It really depends on what I need/am out of of. I buy lots of fresh vegetables and lentils/beans and tofu every time I go, these are the biggest 3. After that I like to buy some hummus just to have it around. Then the usual suspects that I don't always need to restock: coffee, tea, vegetable oil, thai peppers, serranos, sriracha, herbs and spices.
I dunno if I've ever gone to Wal-Mart without getting one of these. Delicious and always in style. Drinking it out of the bottle before 8am classes is a good way to start the day, haha.
Am I the only person who likes this cereal? Anyway, yeah I go for cereal first then maybe some fruits/veggies like bananas, avocados, salad related goodies.
technically I classify instant food as anything I can make in under a minute that dirties up very few dishes: cereal <3, spaghetti and meatballs (in a can [I'm not 6]), macaroni/cheese, instant mashed potatoes, etc. Being lazy sucks. So I always go for those, followed by things needed to make those things like milk for cereal
also now I wanna try cheese on cereal and see how it goes
