Groceries to buy a couple who have nothing for a week of meals?

Rice

Dried beans

Fresh fruit

Potatoes

Sliced Bread

Cheese slices

Carrots and celery

Lettuce and tomatoes

A good crockpot cookbook

Hi: Not sure if they have a stovetop - if not, try picking up a single coil electric heater and pans (Goodwill or Salvation Army may have these - or check out lawnsales or folks you know who may be moving.)

Staples:

Milk

Eggs

Flour

Sugar (white and lite brown)

Baking Powder

Baking Soda

Butter

Rice

Barley (for soup)

Noodles (spaghetti or others)

Salt

Pepper

Garlic powder

Bells seasoning

Apple pie spice

Curry powder

Taco seasoning

maple syrup

Onion

Potatoes

Carrots

Lemon

Apples

White bread

Spaghetti sauce or tomato paste

Vegetable oil

Meat on sale

small mayo

small mustard

small ketchup

With the above, you can make all kinds of foods, from French toast and pancakes to chicken with stuffing, spaghetti, curries, apple pie etc. Leftover meat can be made into sandwiches. I would also recommend a good easy cookbook such as the Better Homes and Gardens New Cookbook.
