I'm having trouble with pop here.
I have no idea why pop() won't remove "blueberries" or why pop(2) returns 'pop index out of range' instead of simply removing "wine".
I'm sure it's terribly obvious, but I'm missing it...
Also, disregard line 13. I made a new list with a new order.

You have only one set of quotes around your list items, so what you really have is a list of only 1 item.
Should look like this:
"bread", "coffee", "wine", "eggs", "turkey", "blueberries"

You could try stepping through with the debugger as you learn as well. You could view the list and seen only had one member

I’ve never fooled with it. Surprised there’s not a Python or coding mega thread on this board.

I'd highly suggest checking out one of the many learning resource online. W3Schools, Udemy, Coursera, etc. whichever one holds your attention. I get wanting to jump in and start creating something, but its obvious you are lacking a good, or any, foundation. A good foundation will keep you from making silly errors, help you debug your own code when you do and allow you to progress faster with less frustration. The vast majority of programming is writing a few lines, running it expecting A, getting B and having to figure that shite out. For instance in your pop(2) example above its hard to figure out why the index was exceeded if you don't first know how to build a list or find its length.

To my knowledge I haven't jumped in and tried to create anything 
but yes, the urge is certainly there...
My grocery list example came from following Keith Galli on YouTube. After trying several different lectures I found him to be the best at explaining.
I am familiar with W3, Udemy, Coursera, and even have a DataCamp membership. But for beginner Python I find Keith to be the best.
He has also introduced me to codingbat.com where there are some helpful beginner level problems to solve.
In addition to that, I'm going through freeCodeCamp for Python at night as just another way to see/learn the same stuff. It's essentially a review.
I haven't tried learning anything new of this magnitude in a long, long, time. I'm having a great time. Thanks for the advice!

Sounds like you have a pretty good plan! Stick with it and soon enough you'll have an ah-ha moment where things just click and thats when the fun begins.

I'd be down for that.
