Moving is one of the more stressful things that modern humans deal with. There's so much to do and organize and pay for, and by the time you finally make it into the door of your new home, you realize there's nothing to eat. A few days of pizza, beer and instant noodles are OK, but if you want your new house to feel like a home, there's one more step left in the moving process: The Big Grocery Shop.
This list will help you get through your Big Grocery Shop with ease. It covers all the bases and will fill your cupboards and fridge with all the staple items that keep us alive. This list is compiled from lists on The Simple Dollar, Iowa Girl Eats and Health.com. It's organized into baking supplies, dried herbs and spices, oils and condiments, produce and dairy, canned goods and grains. Copy and paste it into a document, adjust to your tastes, and print it off before heading to the store.
