    These are the things that I restock immediately if I run out, or I'm about to run out. Along with a good selection of spices it's enough for me to eat a healthy, varied diet. And the only things that can spoil are things I use enough that they don't last long enough.

    Bread
    Eggs
    Milk
    Oatmeal
    Almonds
    Greek Yogurt
    Onions
    Carrots
    Garlic
    (Frozen) chicken breasts
    Frozen salmon
    Various types of dry pulses (Kidney Beans, Black Beans, Navy Beans, Chick Peas & Lentils)
    Canned diced tomatoes
    Olive Oil
    Canola Oil
    Dry Spaghetti
    Mustard
    Miracle Whip
    Bananas
    Apples (or another fruit that's cheap/in season)

    You've got a lot of staples in your home! Since it is just me and my fiance, I don't keep a lot of food at one time, but always have the staples I listed above. I was thinking of making sweet potatoes a regular staple, but do not like to eat them plain. How do you incorporate them into your diet?

    I eat them plain or I roast them in olive oil. I also melt marshmallows on one sometimes!

    I typically slice my sweet potatoes into mini wedges. I use a sprinkle of Cinnamon, Paprika, pepper in olive oil.

    • White potatoes. Everybody bangs on about sweet potatoes, but a good baked potato will fill you up like nothing else
    • Salsa/canned tomatoes. I like salsa in place of salad dressing, and I'm not above dumping a can of Rotel in with cooked broccoli, kale, or anything else I'm not quite into eating on itself.
    • Tea! Good for when you're bored-hungry
    • Garbanzo beans for salads
    • Green beans. They've always been my favorite veggie, even before I knew they were "cheap"
    • Oatmeal and eggs. I don't eat breakfast, but I do love breakfast food.
    • Fruits and veggies on sale/in season
    • There's always some little treat that I parcel out to myself in little portions. Right now, Snicker's minis.
