Having these ingredients on hand will enable you to make easy family recipes that even your kids can help with. You will save time and money because you will not need to eat out or have to run to the store to grab something and end up getting several other items that you can’t afford or don’t need to spend money on. If you don’t have all of these items, watch for sales and stock up on the items that you need so you are not paying full price for them next time. If you go through a lot of something, stock up on that more than others.
If you can think of any other items that should be kept on hand please leave a comment with them and I will add them to the list.
