WantToBeSE

i need to do a big shop for store cupboard items (mainly tinned and dried goods). i made a list of what to get, but its very short..can you help with some ideas as to what to add please?

Tinned:
Tomatoes
Veg
Spag hoops
Beans-Baked
Ratatouille
Beans-Black eye, kidney
Chickpeas
Custard
Sponge puddings
Beansprouts/water chestnuts/mix of oriental 'veg'

Packets:
Sponge mix
Angel delight
Noodles
Pasta
Rice
Nann breads

We eat a lot of different foods, such as roasts, curry, lasagne, chilli, jacket pots, stirfry etc.

what else would/have you add to your store cupboards?

Flour
Sugar
Nuts
Dried fruit
Chickpeas (dry rather than tinned as cheaper)
Tuna/ sardines
Baking stuff like baking powder, vanilla, cocoa, yeast
Couscous
Oats
Passata
Lentils (dry)

Mine tends to be raw ingredients rather than mixes/ ready made stuff as it offers more options for things to make.

Stock cubes
Soy sauce
Chilli sauce
Cornflour
Dried fruits & nuts e.g. raisins, sultanas, currants, cranberries, cashews (great in stir-fries)
Dried or UHT milk
Tea bags, coffee, etc.

This thread should give you some inspiration:

Storecupboard Essentials

I'll merge this thread with that one later to keep the ideas together.
