A sample food shopping/packing list is below.

Caveat: the following assumes that you have ample refrigerator and freezer space. If you are camping and will be relying on an ice chest to keep things cool, the list would be very different.

Mornings:
Coffee, half-n-half (or other coffee whitener of your choice), sugar or other sweetener, juice, yogurt, buttermilk and/or kefir, eggs, bread, butter/margarine, jam/jelly/peanut butter/honey, possibly flour and baking soda (or pancake mix) plus syrup if you like pancakes, bacon, sausage and/or ham, fruit, possibly some sort of granola cereal, grits, oatmeal.

Mid-day:
Bread, peanut butter, honey, butter or margarine, cheese, mayonnaise, tuna, possibly lunchmeat if you like that sort of thing, carrots, celery, bell pepper and other crunchy vegetable-type things, lots of fruit, snacky stuff like chips if you're into that sort of thing, beverages as preferred. Possibly canned soups if it'll be in a somewhat chilly region.

Suppers:
Meat and fish pre-portioned and frozen in one-meal-size packages, several varieties of cheese (grated sharp cheddar, mozzarella, Parmesan, possibly cream cheese), pastas in various shapes, rice (brown and white both), a sack of potatoes, a sack of onions, assorted summer vegetables (zucchini, summer squash, broccoli, asparagus if it's in season, pat-a-pan squash, kohlrabi, mushrooms, tomatoes, spinach, etc.), olive oil, vegetable oil, pan spray.

Seasonings:
Garlic (fresh and dried), parsley, oregano, thyme, basil, salt & pepper, Worcestershire sauce, soy sauce, pepper sauce of your choice, possibly baking spices if you plan French toast or something that would call for cinnamon or nutmeg, other seasonings that you frequently use.

Have fun on your trip!

OK, what she said I am one person

Hee hee, I don't drink. Like I posted in a recent thread I don't drink wine because I can't afford to lose the brain cells.
