What're some good vegetarian foods to put on a grocery list?


I'm mostly interested in snack ideas, lunch and breakfast ideas. I'm pretty picky, but open minded. I also enjoy meat alternatives, so if anyone has a favorite, please share!

Hummous (chickpea spread for sandwiches), soy milk with vanilla or chocolate flavoring, quorn roast (if you can find it ..it tastes somewhat similar to turkey esp if you rub some veg oil and poultry seasonings on outside and wrap in foil before baking it), morningstar farms frozen Chik patties and other fake meats including fake bacon.

THIS IS MY FAV SANDWICH, I TAKE HUMMOS,AND SPREAD ON TOASTED 7 GRAIN,LETTUCE,BEAN SPROUTS,CHEDDAR OR SWISS, 2 SLICES,THIN SLICE OF RED ONION,WITH PICKLE ON SIDE NAMASTE,PS MORNINGSTAR PRODUCTS ARE GREAT

Avocado (big green ones are cheaper by amount of avocado your getting, but small ones are creamier but you have to wait for it to turn black, big ones are sweeter), bushs baked beans, pasta sauce, spaghetti squash, veggie dumplings, whole wheat bread, nuts, dried fruit, eggplant, seasonal fruits & veg on sale.

Tikka fillets made from Quorn. Grapes, pumpkin seeds, pistachio nuts, sunflower seeds, little orange segments, apples, Tofu, Guava, Durian, Dragon fruit, banana, Bombay mix, Trail mix, fruit and nut mix, green mango slices and sugar chilli mix. Marmite spread and peanut butter.... I cud go on but....

Vegetarian food-This is yummy!It's not very much but it is a good vegetarian snack.Fresh spinach in a bowl with lime juice squirted on top and tomatoes on top,too!It is nutritious and delicious!

Bush's baked beans.

My grocery staples for quick, inexpensive and healthy food with minimal prep time...

I start in the produce section:
Bananas
Oranges
Apples
Tomatoes
Cucumbers
Spinach or romaine
...And perhaps something on sale or something unusual that's in season

I add a few proteins:
Black Beans
Refried Pintos (Lard Free!!!)
Walnuts (grate and add agave nectar and cinnamon on fruit!)
Raw Sunflower Seeds
Tofu
Plain yogurt (without added sugar)
A ball of fresh mozzarella!
Perhaps a meat substitute like sliced turkey or chicken

I purchase a few grains:
Whole grain bread
Whole grain tortillas
Maybe TLC crackers
Rice Cakes (made with brown rice)

Then I add some liquids:
Orange Juice
Bottlehouse Farms Juice...yum
Sparkling water to mix with the juice when desired


Viola! Done. It works for me. Find healthy vegetarian foods you love. The simpler the better.

Cheese
Peanut Butter
Squash Ravioli
Edamame
Sugar Snap Peas
Oriental Ramen noodles
Rice
Pretzels
Veggie Wraps
Veggie dumplings
Pizza
Beans
Tortillas

EDIT:
Good and simple snacks I love are: A banana with peanut butter, and fruit smoothies, with soy milk! =]
