Pantry staples that save trips

A short list for a dozen meals.

5 min read

A small stock of staples means you can make a meal without a trip to the store, and fewer takeout nights.

A starter list

  • Rice, pasta and oats
  • Canned tomatoes, beans and tuna
  • Broth or bouillon
  • Flour, sugar, oil and vinegar
  • Onions, garlic and potatoes
  • Frozen vegetables
  • Spices you actually use

Build it slowly

Add one or two staples a week when they're on sale. You don't need to stock everything at once.
