Groceries you should always have around?

Question

I'm just getting the hang of grocery shopping on a regular basis. What are some good, all around things to have at home? For breakfast, lunch, snacks or dinner.

Answer 1

Really it depends on what you like to eat. Personally, I like to keep potatoes, lettuce/salad mix, carrots, olive oil, tortillas, peanut butter, cheese, eggs, milk, juice & boneless, skinless chicken breasts (frozen, of course). Also, in-season fruits and vegetables (farmer's market anyone?). In winter, I like to keep canned vegetables, fruits, soups & canned/powdered milk, plus ingredients for homemade bread.

If you have time, check out different store flyers to get the best price, clip coupons for stuff you actually use & comparison shop like crazy. And this time of year you can easily find fresh/organic fruits & vegetables to stock up on. If you freeze these you can have them later on when they're not in season.

Eggs, Milk, Bread, Butter, Cheese, Pasta, Onions, Peppers, and thats all i can think of for now lol

Staple items include salt & pepper along with other seasonings you like, flour, sugar, eggs, milk, bread, peanut butter, jelly or jam, fresh or frozen fruit, fresh and canned or frozen vegetables, coffee, creamer, and meat. That should take care of your basics.
