my wife went yesterday to get some groceries. Called me saying they were out of damn near everything what should I get? I told her not to worry too much since our freezer in the basement is always stocked with meat, so just get basic can food items, milk if they have some, flour, rice, noodles, powdered milk, eggs/powdered eggs or both. It's not the best stuff but those items can go a long way if you know how to cook from scratch. However she did come home with quite a bit of stuff plus those items I told her to search for.
