things i need at the grocery store

What list is more basic than the grocery list? Since I don't have anything embarrassing on the list just now, and I don't have anything more inspired on my mind, here's my list now:

1. Milk - non fat and whole (Erik won't drink anything but whole)
2. Tortillas - flour for sure, maybe corn?
3. Oatmeal - at least I've been good at breakfast
   
4. Tomatoes
5. Carrots
6. Asparagus (cuz it's in season - zucchini if it was not)
7. Onions
8. Water (I hate buying water but our tap water is gross)
9. Ready to Eat Bacon - Erik's new favorite
10. Bread? (mine is on the verge of molding, Erik needs some sort of white bread, he looks like he likes white bread...)
11. Sugar? (once I feed the hummingbirds again I will be low)
12. Yogurt? (if it is on sale - I don't always eat it. Though I used to be a yogurt junkie, I tend to forget about the ones I buy. I think they suffer from poor product placement - on the bottom shelf of the fridge. Total tangent? I remember my mom even had a yogurt maker... which is gross, if you think about it.)
13. Butter? Could go either way but if Erik gets on a grilled cheese kick my supply could be gone.
    
14. Diet soda of some sort. Not the Diet Coke junkie my sister is, but they may be how I am leaning. I've been drinking Diet Sunkist of all things which is strange as I usually hate the artificial orange flavor (reminds me of baby aspirin).
15. Chili? I suspect Erik has eaten all of his, but he can always live off beans...
16. Mint Chip Ice Cream - Erik's ultimate staple. He's always sad when Breyer's is on sale cuz he strongly prefers Dryer's but I can't bring myself to pay full price....
17. Fruit Cocktail
    
18. Raspberry Jello - Erik claims he's making a Jello mold...
19. Peaches and Oranges - in plastic jars, not cans (I got Erik hooked on the good stuff)
    
20. Cinnamon Graham Crackers - again for Erik...
21. Sliced Salami
    
22. Smoked Gouda
    
23. Sour Cream
    

Ok, now I have to go feed an elephant seal (and again in the morning after daylight savings begins...), so the shopping will have to wait.
