So I'm going to be living on my own for the first time next year (I go to college but I've been living with my parents), and I need some suggestions on the kinds of foods to buy.

I'll be in an on-campus apartment with a fully-loaded kitchen -- meaning I'll have cupboard space, big fridge, stove, oven, and microwave. I really have no cooking skills whatsoever yet, but hopefully I will learn some stuff over the summer. I just made my first pot of spaghetti by myself actually -LOL- but it was delicious.

I don't have a big income so I want to save on groceries, and the other goal is to eat HEALTHY. Whenever I sleep over in a dorm room, friend's apartment, or eat in a dining hall, the food is so junky and gross it makes me sick. Don't get me wrong some of it can be good, but I want to develop a healthy lifestyle right off the bat. There is a local food co-op I will have to check out, and Whole Foods in the city, but I wanna look for what I can find in regular grocery stores too.

So what suggestions do you guys have for foods that are:
healthy
inexpensive
filling
easy to cook
can buy in bulk/lasts a long time
delicious?

p.s. I don't eat many vegetables so this could be tricky . I DO eat some meats, but I bet they're more expensive, and I wanna cut down on them if possible. Living the natural life man :rasta: peace
