How do you manage your store cupboard?

PasturesNew

A store cupboard is simply the items you could make 2-3 days (at least) of food from if you couldn't go shopping.... the key is buying things you regularly use and not buying alien stuff you've never used and never will.

I've always got: flour, suet, baked beans, tinned tomatoes, stuffing mix, instant noodles, 500g of pasta, a pack of basmati rice, cans of creamed rice, tinned pineapple, a couple of tins of stew or curry or thick/chunky soup. Tins of peas, carrots and a tin of potatoes. A couple of small tins of tuna. Then there's always Oxo cubes, ketchup, brown sauce and salad cream. A pack of instant gravy and instant curry sauce.

Those are all things that won't go off.

I always have cheddar in the fridge and usually have eggs around.

All of these give me loads of options and easy food if I CBA to go out.

A typical freezer starter point would contain: chips, yorkshire puddings, mixed veg, frozen peas and fish fingers. There's usually some "ends of loaves" kicking around in the freezer too.

I just know that I can go to the cupboard and make quick/easy food if I've got that lot in.

I have a full store cupboard that I am running down at the moment due to being short last month & this also I failed big time on the July grocery challenge , so need to stop popping to the sm's
But saying that when I can start to see gaps in the cupboards I get a bit panicy lol
