My shopping list for January looks like this, with lot of focus on rice, beans, and potatoes to keep costs down. With an unlimited budget, you can skip that part. I'm still planning the meals and general timing of making them though, so I haven't worked out the specific quantities just yet.

My list has two parts:
1. Things I always keep on hand, but don't have to buy very often since I buy them in reasonably big quantities and they have long storage lives:
Salt, sugar, flour(s), oatmeal, rice, dried legume(s), whole dried spices (always buy whole spices and grind as needed), dried chiles, dried fruit, onions, garlic, carrots, celery, oil(s), butter. Potatoes would belong on this list if I liked eating potatoes regularly, I prefer to bake bread to serve as my primary carb.

2. Every few days I ride my bike to the store(s) and buy perishable things I plan to eat in the next few days, plus anything I need to replenish from the previous list. This usually means:
- several different fresh fruits and vegetables, largely depending on what's in season or cheap
- meat and dairy products (usually just for special occasions)
- fresh herbs as needed for particular dishes (sadly no gardening where I live...)
