You will also need non-food household and cleaning supplies.
Never underestimate the importance of owning a toilet plunger. Odds are you won't need one very often (if at all) but when you do need one, it's ABSOLUTELY essential that it exists.
Spare lightbulbs that fit in the fixtures you have should be stored in an easy-to-find place.
Flashlights should be kept somewhere they will be easy to find in the dark.
A toolbox with assorted screwdrivers, a hammer, a tape-measure and a couple of pairs of pliers/wire cutters. It should also have duct tape and WD-40 in it. If you get a low-end (cheap) chuckless drill, that doubles as an electric screwdriver, hanging up pictures will be VERY easy.
My grocery bills run me about $75 every 2-ish weeks. I sometimes use coupons, but I mainly shop the sales, and have "loyalty cards" for EVERY grocery store in the area (they really help save money). I cook mass quantities on the weekends and freeze individual portions during the week. It's easier than trying to reduce the recipes to make just one serving, and makes it so I do't have to think about cooking when I'm tired and hungry.
