I don't know about you, but I have a lot of recipes that call for the same ingredients. Plus, (like most people) I have a few recipes that I find myself making every week. It seems like I am always running out of these "popular" ingredients and I have found myself buying them weekly.
So, to help get the most out of my budget (and to start building a stockpile of what I use most), I did a quick inventory of my recipes and actually created a "top 5 most used pantry ingredients" list. Now that I know what I use the most, I will buy and totally stockpile these items when they go on sale. Now I am saving money on my weekly budget, and I also have a great supply of what I use the most, and always have it on hand when I need it.
Here is my TOP 5:
Cream of Chicken Soup
Chicken Stock
Soy Sauce
Peanut Butter
Spaghetti Sauce
What's yours? Do a quick inventory check list against your recipes and get your TOP 5 list together so you buy big when the right sales and/or coupons come along!
