You need butter for your pop tarts. Maybe some ring pops too? |

I'll cheat and say that since I don't drink coffee, one of my already-haves would be garlic.
My 10: Whole chicken Salad greens Carrots Broccoli Rice Cheddar cheese Milk Eggs Tomatoes Bread My meal plan would be Breakfasts: Eggs, french toast Lunches: tomato sandwiches, salads, leftovers Dinners: Roast chicken Chicken pot pie Chicken fried rice Ouevos rancheros Chicken and broccoli in cheddar sauce on rice Tomato soup w/ grilled cheese Leftovers or more soup and sadwiches. I'm interested in the meal plans that go with others' lists. |

Canned Peeled Tomatoes
Large Box Pasta Large bag Rice Goya Black Beans Olive oil Good Cheddar Loaf of whole wheat bread Large piece of fish One whole chicken Large piece of beef. Thanks OP--great thread idea--this will help me see what others are doing and how I could maybe cut down on buying so much food. Whole Foods is my anti-depressant. And it's breaking the bank. |
I hope you are single or don't have kids---cos it would suck to eat at your house. |
I'm PP and I grow lettuce, Tomatoes, snap peas, corn, kale, spinach, kohlrabi, bok choi, and cucumber and zucchini and green beans in my back yard in AU park. Never buy these, really. |

I posted earlier, but here is my updated list with meal plan. Since its a list of 10 items, without any limit on quantity, I'm taking that as license to buy in volume. We're a family of four, kids are 1 and 3.
Here is OP’s list of staples in pantry: salt, pepper, flour, sugar, olive oil, vinegar, coffee I also wish to include instant dry yeast, cinnamon, baking powder, and baking soda in my pantry staples. I’m also saying I have a spoonful of existing yogurt so I can make new yogurt with some of the milk I buy. I’m making 2 loaves of the no knead bread that Mark Bittman made popular with flour, salt and yeast from the pantry. I’m buying: 2 or 3 whole chickens lots of carrots broccoli whole milk eggs butter basmati rice prunes black beans dubliner cheese Breakfasts: rice pudding (rice, milk, cinnamon, prunes, butter) cheesy scrambled eggs with toast frittata with beans, broccoli and cheese yogurt with prunes overnight yeasted waffles served with butter, yogurt and stewed prunes carrot pancakes (flour, eggs, grated carrots, cinnamon, milk, baking powder) prune muffins Lunches and dinners: roasted chicken with carrots or broc and rice quiche (eggs, milk, cheese, broc, in homemade pie crust) chicken pot pie (chicken with carrots, broccoli and chicken gravy in homemade pie crust) chicken soup with rice beans and rice (beans and rice can both be cooked in chicken stock) cheesy rice, chicken and broccoli casserole black bean burgers (black beans, rice, veggies, eggs, flour) topped with cheese grilled cheese sandwiches Here’s what I’d miss the most: nuts, onion, garlic, bananas (for the kids), other veggies and fruits, maple syrup, and well, variety in general And please, if I find myself living in this alternate reality, let there still be bourbon in my liquor cabinet. |
