What kind of dishes and utensils should I get?

Long story short, I got into a heated argument a few days ago with my mom. She then boycotted cooking meals for me permanently, although that remains to be seen. I can't afford to eat out fast food everyday with what little I have, and also since I have no income. I'm currently trying to get into the skilled trades and I will go to the food bank, but until then, I'm gonna buy and eat grocery stuff.

Until my mom is in a better mood, I won't bother asking if she'll still let me use the kitchen, provided I buy my own food and clean up after myself. So far, I only bought 1 loaf of whole wheat bread, 2 small cans of sliced mushrooms, 2 medium cans of tuna, 2 large cans of beans, and 1 jar of peanut butter. It costed me total of around 16.50 bucks after taxes at Walmart, and I did have to resort to cheaper brands.

I definitely need to get a can opener and a plate, but not sure if I need anything else. I do remember my parents giving me some of their dishes, pots, pans, and utensils for when I was in university. But I checked the basement and couldn't find it at all so I think I might have to buy those. I won't be cooking anything until my mom isn't as mad at me and lets me use the kitchen.

When I was in campus like more than a decade ago, all I needed was a good quality pressure cooker. It had the capacity for 2 litres. And one silicone spoon and a knife.

The cooker was used to make soups , to fry , deep fry , stir fry, like a regular pot and even like an oven . as long as it is good quality, you don't need other stuff. I am not joking.
@Miram uh I don't wanna cook anything until i live on my own
second hand stores are glorious for cookware and dishes.
Basic plate, bowl, spoon for and knife. Small pan. A sharper knife, vegetable peeler, something to cut on, like a cutting board.
@nonsensiclesnail would buying from the dollar store be better? It's within walking distance, while the thrift store I gotta take the bus or ride a bike. I used to have a thrift store within walking distance, but it closed down.
@uikakarotuevegeta you will get better quality products from a thrift store but they may cost more.
Buy an air fryer and a stack of paper plates.
@Threepio paper plates, i have at home, but air fryer...idk yet
