First Time Grocery Shopping List?

My husband and I just moved overseas and into our new place. We could not bring any food items with us during the move, so we have nothing in our kitchen. I need to do a grocery trip to fully stock the kitchen with all the necessities and goodies, I just don't know what those are! We haven't had to grocery shop in so long due to a long moving process that I've totally forgotten what a good kitchen should have. Help!!!

4. My husband and I have moved several times due to the military, and we always have to start fresh in our new kitchen. I don't even make a list, I just grab a cart, my husband grabs a cart, and we walk down every single aisle in the store, picking up everything we see that we will need. The main aisles would be the baking, condiment, and dairy aisles. Of course don't forget trash bags and dish soap, a water filter if you don't already have one. Hope this helps some.
