No olive oil. I buy avocado oil and don't use much. I use high quality cooking pans and silicon bakeware that doesn't need to be oiled. Oil is mostly for salad dressing.
Lemons (for juice---have to squeeze my own here when I can even get them) for cocktails and making mayonnaise, Limes, olive oil, onions and cheese. Milk for coffee and sauces (we don't drink it straight).
No half n half here But at least I'm getting my Vit. C....
Interesting that so many are using olive oil instead of other worse oils. Good!
I was just thinking that, for just two people, we sure use a lot of butter and olive oil. I go through at least a pound of butter a week, and I buy a big jug of olive oil every other month.
Cheddar cheese and hot sauce. The high schooler eats cheese like it's going out of style, and I swear the one home from college for the summer is drinking Cholula sauce on the sly. She makes eggs for breakfast and uses a quarter of the bottle!
We go through a lot of onions,ginger,garlic, dried lentils,beans,honey,large steel oats,lemons.As well milk for making my own yogurt and flour for baking my European bread.

Yes, lemons for me, too. I buy a couple every time I go to the store, then I use them immediately, and am out again.
Actually, the same with canned mushrooms. If I have them, I put them in lots or things, so I should buy a case.
I use a lot of different kinds of oil, for various purposes. Coconut oil for popcorn. "Vegetable oil" for deep frying. Butter for baking, mac 'n cheese, spread, chowders, sauces. Bacon grease for crispy burritos, bacon, eggs, hash browns. Canola for pancakes, frying. Olive for salads, pasta dishes. Cream for toppings, ice cream. Lard for pie crusts. Lecithin as a moisturising preservative in pastries.
I don't want to keep all those different oils in the fridge, so I buy in very small quantities. Oxygen is very bad for oils, and when they turn rancid they are carcinogenic, so you always want to use fresh oil. I used to bake all our bread and bought large quantities of olive oil, but now only buy a half pint at a time
I have to buy butter at Costco because we go through so much.
Some things I automatically pick up every time I go to Trader Joe's because I know if we don't need them that day, we'll need them the next.
Sourdough bread
String cheese
Granola bars
Lemonade (DH likes it with iced tea, and I make popsicles for the kids)
Half & half
And at Sprouts:
Apples
Blueberries
Onions
Zucchini (unless it's summer and I have it in the garden)
Broccoli
Cauliflower
Farmer's market:
Strawberries
Oranges
Avocados
