I am trying to be good and meal plan from now on (have tried in the past and given up:rolleyes: ) cos I am at imminent risk of redundancy :eek: so really need to cut back and just wondered what is everyones 'can't live without - must have' storecupboard item?
Mine is stock cubes, I have tried making my own stock a few times but just don't find it very tasty (I do have a very salty palate so think that is why the cubes appeal!!) I usually buy knorr ones as I like them the best - they never seem to be on offer though!! I use them in everything even put half in with my veg if I am boiling it - veg flavour veg!!!0 -

What it may grow to in time, I know not what.

Have you tried the knorr powdered stock, the vegetable one is really nice, also you can get the chicken one in large tins from chinese supermarkets.
