Like other posters, I'd get the stuff I can't (don't) make at home: sliced sandwich meats and/or charcuterie, bagels (bread if it's particularly good looking), pickles.
Good sliced thin roast beef, a loaf of french bread. A pint of cole slaw and dill pickles. Then go home and make some Au Jus and have a french dip.

A Reuben sandwich! It's one thing I never make at home, and enjoy ever so rarely (as in, about once a year, and usually while traveling). Great question. ;o)
That's another of my "Deli/Supermarket" meals at home. Get Hosin sauce, green onions, sesame oil. Brush some of the cut up chicken skin side up with hosin and broil to crisp it up. Brush the tortillas with sesame oil and nuke 'face to face' in pairs in microwave with a wet towel. Serve with green onion 'brushes' and hosin sauce on the side. (Mock Peking duck) Eggs rolls, egg drop soup, and rice. you have dinner with little effort.
