It's also good to have a variety of soups, canned veggies, tomato sauce, and canned fruits. I have been keeping a couple pounds of butter in the freezer. I make sure to always have: milk, cheddar cheese, eggs, carrots, celery, and onions in the fridge. I try to have at least 5lbs of potatoes in the pantry. Some fun things to keep around for extras are: chocolate chips, powdered sugar, cake mix, cold cereal, soup mixes, bread crumbs, jello, pudding, pie filling, frozen berries, frozen veggies. These are the kinds of things you can use to pull together any kind of meal. Tomorrow night, or Saturday morning I will spend the remainder of this weeks groceries $34.00, on some of the above items. That way I don't run out of staples.
