What are some essentials for vegetarians on a grocery list?!


Question: I figured that if i want to convince my Dad to be supportive of my decision to be a vegetarian, i should have an educated response to everything he might throw at me. So part of that is groceries. I have done a great deal of research, and i know what is important for vegetarians. But i would very much appreciate answers from experienced vegetarians. What products should i buy? (i'm not exacty into tofu). What kinds of food and supplies should i put on my list?

please write an actual list, that i can present to my dads, ten points to someone who can give me what i'm askign for.
