Processed food generally has ingredients you wouldn't normally have in your kitchen. So I wouldn't worry about marinades or seasonings.
P.S. From a mse point of view, unless you're very disciplined, I wouldn't shop daily.
My store stopped selling the small tins of spaghetti hoops. When a customer complained about this, I suggested the above to him and the way he looked at me was like if I was talking in a different language.
I live alone and always buy the big tins, large packs of chicken breasts, mince etc (unless the smaller packs have reduced stickers). Then split the packs of meat up on getting home, wrapping in foil then with a food bag with what’s inside. Plus I can slip a chicken breast into a small gap into the freezer.
Last year, I found in the reduced in Lidl, a pack of 16 chicken breasts for £2. Gave 8-10 of them to my parents.
I live on my own and shop frequently (use the time for gentle exercise and escape from the computer) and do buy packs where I need to split and freeze - including loaves and cheese. It is just that the purchases are spread through the week or month.No man is worth crawling on this earth.

As I did lose my taste for a day after the first dose, people have said I must have had covid. As I had the other symptoms - not the lost of taste but asthma has got worse since.
Think about 6 of us had covid altogether - 2 of them husband and wife which is well below average as with a population of 70m and 4.5m cases - so 1 in 15 has been tested positive. My work has about 110 colleagues.
I shop after work for a few items and then go once a week to Lidl. Probably once every 8 weeks, I go somewhere else to shop for items that my work or Lidl don't sell.0
