2 Person Household Shopping?

[General Question]

I'm really curious, for those of you that are only 2 person or solo households, what do you typically buy? We are empty nesters and my trips have been reduced to maybe 10 items or less now. We get the rice bowls, a bag or two of whole nuts, cat food, some paper products, and an occasional sea.sonal item. We feel like a lot of the other stuff is just too much for us to get through before it goes bad. But I've seen some great recommendations from you all that I started adding like the fries and, OMG, that vanilla ice cream (started making copycat Blizzards with that and now I have to restrict myself to buying it really infrequently). What else are good for smaller households?
