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.

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.
