PostP, you went to the pantry and were so excited you had/made your life easier:
Go!
DH and I are making a big trip to BJ's this weekend and stocking up on all the wholesale goodness they have to offer.

Re: BTDT hugely important - food
Bagels and English muffins (can also freeze)
Tortillas and beans for easy burrito meals
Pancake/waffle mix. I usually make from scratch, but I know people visiting will appreciate the convenience of the mix if helping with DD, etc. I also made a bunch of waffles and pancakes already and froze them for quick breakfasts for DD.
Cereal - easy
Stocked up on TP and paper towels and laundry detergent (not that it's good, but nice not to have to think about)
Snack bars and trail mix.. Easy high protein snacks.
We're winging it. We bought a bunch of snacks for me to eat while BF'ing- granola bars and fiber one bars in ridiculous quantities, and some nuts and trail mix. Along with a bunch of bottled water. FTM here, but my breastfeeding class advised that we prepare this type of stuff.
We stocked up on easy to make things like oatmeal, cereal and a few frozen staples- pizza, fruit, chicken breasts.
My parents live nearby and my mom will gladly pick up groceries for us if and when we need them, so I'm not going to go overboard.
Oatmeal (big canisters and the flavored packets)
Granola bars
TV dinners (I know this isn't most people favorite thing, but they are high in protein and are easy to make and feel like you've had a real mean with minimal effort)
Bottled drinks (stocking up on powerade this time since many swear by it for milk production)
Dried fruit (I prefer to fresh in some cases)
Prunes
Crackers/cheese/tuna for snack meals
Chocolate!!! Ok, my ILs got me a huge bag of milk chocolate "to help me make milk"
Yogurt, helps prevent thrush
Beef jerky
