Storecupboard Essentials
Tinned tomatoes
Flour
Olive oil
Dried herbs & spices/Salt & pepper
Stock cubes (assuming you haven't gone completely OS and made your own stock....)



Am just about to re-stock my fridge so will be interested to see what people put down as 'fridge essentials'. So far I've got eggs, parmesan, capers and milk on the list......could do with a few more ideas!

flour
eggs(i have hens so these are usually there all the time)
tinned tomatoes
tinned tuna
cheese

I always have stock in the fridge or freezer, but I just thought thats normal for an OS person like me!?!

I have to agree that 5 is really hard to 'bring it down to'. Like a lot of you other OSers, I wouldn't be without tinned tomatoes, or baked beans, or cheese or fruit and veg (fresh or frozen) because with that lot, you can live like kings (on a paupers wage )

Bogof_Babe

Dried or tinned potato
Dried or tinned onion
Tin of corned beef
Tin of baked beans
Tin of mixed veg

A standby meal for two nights (corned beef hash & beans one night, c/b hash & mixed veg the next). All ingredients are *long-life*, which is the whole point of "store cupboard", innit?

Alternatively, five tins of All Day Breakfast :grinheart .

Or two tins of All Day Breakfast, two tins of Irish Stew and a tin of chicken or vegetable curry!

Don't forget the tin-opener

'five is impossible' says he!

Curry_Queen

Hmmmmm now how on earth do I cut it down to just five items :eek: ... so how about five categories :grinheart

Dried staples - beans, lentils, rice, pasta, bulgar wheat etc
Tinned food - tomatoes, beans, meat & fish
Oils
Herbs, Spices & Seasonings
Baking stuff - flour, bicarb, sugar etc

Wow that was hard to do considering I could probably stock a small shop with my storecupboard items

moggins

LOL, I know the feeling CQ. I could feed the world with their favourite foods with what's in my storecupboard
