Groceries
I divide mine into the following categories based on the set up of the two groceries stores I regularly shop in (Stop and Shop and Whole Foods). I bet your grocery store is similar.
___ Produce
___ Meat
___ Fish
___ Grains
___ Dairy
___ Snacks
___ Spices
___ Staples
___ Frozen
Bathroom Supplies & Toiletries
While I am not a fan of buying in bulk, I do suggest you have 1 extra tube of toothpaste and bottle of shampoo on hand for emergencies.
___ Shampoo
___ Conditioner
___ Hair Gel/Oil/Mouse/Cream
___ Toothpaste
___ Mouthwash
___ Floss
___ Hand Soap
___ Shower gel
___ Facial moisturizer
___ Body moisturizer
___ Sunblock

Household Supplies
Buying in bulk is more acceptable here because you can store much of this in a basement of attic storage space. Just make sure they are labeled and that anything sensitive to climate (like laundry detergent) is kept at a normal room temperature.
___ Toilet paper
___ Paper towels
___ Tissues
___ Cleaning supplies
___ Laundry detergent
___ Lightbulbs
___ Batteries
Office Supplies
Things like staples, envelopes, glue and pencils.
