Stocking up!

Posted September 6th, 2010 by DIGS Admin. Filed in DIGS Student

It’s so easy to only shop for one or two days but if you stock your cupboards now with a few essentials you’ll find it much easier down the line to rustle up a yummy meal in minutes! Here’s what we think you need to have, oh and by the way, just stick to supermarket only brands… exactly the same and cheaper!!

Salt
Black Pepper (buy it in a refillable grinder)
Mixed Dried Herbs
Dried rosemary, mint, and oregano
Chilli powder
Ketchup
Tomato Puree
Chopped tomatoes (cans of)
Gravy granules.
Stock cubes; beef and chicken
Jar of tomato pesto
Butter (proper butter, not margarine!)
Pasta sauces
Pasta
Dried noodles
Rice
Baked beans
Tuna
Mayonnaise
Olive oil
Vegetable oil
Long life milk (keep it for that hangover that disables you and prevent you from walking to the shop)
Garlic puree
Worcestershire sauce
Soy sauce
Oyster sauce
Vinegar
Balsamic Vinegar
Stir-fry sauces
Frozen peas
Frozen chips
Squash

Most of these items will last you for months and it’s always good to keep a stocked cupboard so there isn’t a last minute dash to the shops or a mediocre dinner because you can’t be bothered
