I've made many moves. What I buy for travel and for the new house until we
get cooking stuff are, canned beans, vegetables, fruit and cheese. Once we
get the house (assuming there is a working fridge), I buy lunch meat, peanut
butter, jelly, bread and condiments. I know a lot of people who would buy
frozen meals to heat in the oven, but I would rather not.

This works for me but I'm not a big meat eater. Can also buy hard boiled
eggs and prepared salads or hummus if so inclined. Also things like nuts and
dried fruit.

I have managed to survive for a month or two on stuff like this. Might get a
lone restaurant meal or two in between times.
