This is a very extensive list and doesn't include any fresh produce, but feel free to use this as a guide to help inspire you! I make just about everything from scratch because gluten-free options are usually expensive, hard to come by, and not good, but if you can eat gluten, go for it! Things like bread, bagels, crackers, and frozen waffles are nice to have when possible, otherwise I make them. I often make my own vegan cheese and don't like vegan meat, but those are things you might want to have as well. Hope this list is helpful!
