A Hungarian once said, "Saute onions and garlic, then decide what's for dinner." I use peppers, onions and garlic in A LOT of my dishes, breakfast, lunch and dinner.

We used to give my grandmother a box of pantry goods for Christmas and for her birthday. We’d include the smallest cans available because she lived alone. Canned seafood and small cans of soup, small packets of cornbread or muffins. Everything we bought was scaled for one. She loved to get our gifts to see what we had chosen. She liked to bake and did a bit of canning from the small garden she had so we made sure she all necessary ingredients necessary to do both.

I don’t usually comment but just wanted to say how much I’ve enjoyed your videos over the years. When I was teaching my at-risk, low-income high schoolers, I’d watch your videos for inspiration before teaching my cooking lessons. You spoke to people without the big pantries, without all the fancy cooking appliances, and without much background knowledge. Especially your old videos on shopping with a food stamps budget. Keep up the amazing work! I love listening while I do dishes or cook myself. 😊😊

You could also do away with brown sugar and make your own! Molasses lasts for YEARS.

Also you can make an easy homemade bisquik copycat with your ingredients. I do mine with shortening so it is shelf stable and we love it for biscuits and it makes an amazing fried chicken tender if you coat it in a wet mixture of water and biscuit mix made to about pancake batter thickness and then coat in dry powder and fry. Yum! You can also make homemade pancake mix. I think that you have a great list and I know I have most of those things stocked normally.

Having been a single mom raising 3 sons on Social Security disability, Idid basically what you recommended but I would make these changes. I hope they help someone. Because there's already onion powder and garlic powder in the first capsule, in the third capsule I would get fresh celery and carrots. They last a long time in the fridge, are the basis of multiple recipes and make great snacks and add vegetables to your pantry/staples. I might even make this part of my second capsule and change the other spices to third capsule.

Except for adobo. I mainly use white vinegar for cleaning. It is cheaper than buying cleaners. I have recently started to make my own taco, fajita, cinnamon sugar, salad dressings, and seasoned salt. It is much more economical than buying them already made. Some of them I don't use a lot so I don't need to make a lot of it. I can also substitute the salt with no salt or reduce the amount since I need to cut salt in my diet. I found out that if I freeze yeast, It lasts longer. I used to throw away the ones that were expired because I don't make bread that often. As you said, stock up on pantry items you use a lot. I get rice in 20 or 25 lb bags because it is a daily staple where potatoes and beans are not. Cream of soup, tomato soup are also frequently used in casserole dishes. It is easy to make your own bechamel sauce. Fresh milk is versatile and used in many recipes. But , I just cannot finish a gallon of milk before it spoils so I do keep dry milk, even though it costs more than fresh milk because it is shelf stable and I don't use it often. If you make your own bread you may need to get different kinds of flour bread flour, whole wheat, and all purpose. Cornbread mix or cornmeal is good for making more than cornbread Honey keeps just about forever as long as no water gets in it. I don't use much sugar, but I use a lot of stevia. Bisquick mix, or you can make your own if also very versatile as well as oatmeal as budget meal by itself or in recipes. I also keep ramen noodles around. It can be used as a base for other noodles dishes. Canned tomato products, tomato sauce, crushed tomato, diced or stewed tomatoes, whole tomatoes are called for in many recipes unless you are canning your own, these are staples in my house. I prefer to stock up on frozen vegetables because they have less salt and have better color and texture than canned. Cornstarch, baking powder, baking soda, unsweetened cocoa are also staples. So is chocolate. I always have some chocolate for snacks in the frig. It takes me about 6 months to finish one bag of minis. It is a sweet indulgence. I keep some other things that is not common like char siu, nori, spam, dried shitake mushrooms, black bean sauce, chili sauce, hoisin, oyster sauce, Japanese vinegar, long rice ( vermicelli), and specialty noodles like soba, Korean noodles which I use frequently enough so I like to keep them on hand Especially, since some things are only available in specialty markets. Since I don't go to these placese often it usually costs more than $10 to stock up.

What an amazing video. So well organized and planned. Wonderful, wonderful, wonderful! For me, it's butter - love it and have to it!!

Butter is a staple for me, too. Milk as well. I was trying to stay away from perishables though, at least for this video. :)

If you are cooking dry beans, I found a great way to flavor is throw in a little bouillon with the water. Especially if beans aren’t exactly your family’s favorite food.

Instead of the Jiffy mix I would have gone with cornmeal since you already had the basic baking items. Just a thought. Great video!
