What is always in your store cupboard

CarolineT82

I was just wondering what everyone ALWAYS has in their cupboards.......

Unless I get round to planning my weekly meals before I go shopping I always end up eating the same thing.

So I was wondering whether people tend to have various items in their cupboard to make sure that a meal is always on hand, no matter how late you get in from work/gym etc.......

I've usually got pasta, rice, herbs and spices, tinned toms and soup.....and my cupboards are full.....but I honestly can't think what else is there. I don't think my store cupboard stocking is anywhere near as efficient as it could be!

I always keep some homemade soup in the freezer, in "my size" portions -- if I am making soup, I always make a whole bunch, then freeze some -- pot roast turns into soup the next day, I make chicken, mushroom and barley soup, stuff like that -- even though it's hot outside, the soup is filling and low calorie -- I am not one for canned soups, as I got spoiled on the taste of homemade! It's also always a good way to use up those veggies that are starting to go limp....

the other go-to is peanut butter......the natural kind. Quick protein on wheat or multigrain bread.

Tinned tomatoes, cous cous, garlic puree, dried herbs and spices, olive oil and some tinned beans in the cupboard.

Bread, milk, cheese, onions, potato and cougettes in the fridge.

Spinach in the freezer.

eating & using less boxed, processed stuff. My cupboard is pretty bare, mostly dog food & treats. MY food is in the freezer & fridge - fresh veggies & fruit and lots of fish & chicken. I made a 16 bean soup yesterday.
Also, I'm single & live alone. I have a friend who cooks more often & invites me to dinner. I don't eat at home every day & just don't keep a lot of food in the house - it would spoil or I'd eat it (binge) and neither of those is acceptable.

I do tend to do a weekly online shop and pick up bits when needed so we always have fresh salad and veg. I also buy meat as and when it is needed.

I only buy bread at the weekend!

In an emergency I could knock up a healthy pasta (or rice, or cous-cous) dish
