Pasta, brown rice, tinned tomatos, eggs, butter and cheese. I also keep stocked up on lots of other tinned products and frozen veg, i hate to think i could run out of food!!!!0

Garlic
Because it has loads of flavour, so reduces the need for salt and makes everything taste fab frankly.
Might not be old style but I couldn't condone cheap meat.0 -
Pasta, Cheese, Eggs, Flour, Potatoes, Butter, Bread, sugar & onions - can usually cobble together some decent meals out of that lot0

All of the above, plus a chorizo or salami - pound for pound I can get more meals out of a chorizo sausage than any other meat. I tend to make a basic tomato sauce but slice a lil bit of that in and instantly its a chili type pasta sauce and because the flavour is so intense you don't need loads of meat. Plus salami goes in butties or sliced on top of pizzas - AND they keep for a relatively long timeComps £2016 in 2016 - 1 wins = £530 26.2%

Mmmm Lidls do a huge salami for about 2.50.
Well worth the money and lasts ages in sarnies, etc etc:j
My other staples are butter, flour, eggs, potatoes and onions. Funny enough just made a potato and onion pasty which is doing in the oven at the moment. :T

I always have pasta in sauce dried packet stuff in the cupboard. I am a slimming world member and these are free food on a green day - so can have them any time.
