Hello Missy!

I went food shopping the weekend we moved in and bought the following.......

A case of canned tomatoes, puree, paste etc.
variety of boxes of pasta
Progresso soups
Chicken broth
Rice (white rice, lipton bags)
Cereal
Baking goods ( sugar, brown, confectioners, vanilla extract baking powder)
Cupcake, brownie mix
Spices ( parsley, oregano, basil, red/black pepper, salt, paprika, nutmeg, cinnamon)
napkins
paper towels
toilet paper
paper plates/ cups

I'll see if I can think of anything else!

Re: New House New Pantry

I always make sure to have the following..

spices
oil (vegetable, olive etc.)
Pam
foil
cling wrap
wax paper
flour
sugar
brown sugar
popcorn (movie nights)
vanilla
dish soap/dishwashing detergent
paper products
coffee/filters
vinegar

Re: New House New Pantry

I LOVE this kind of shopping.
Buy all the spices in the world!
Pasta (not too too much, it will get bugs)
TONS OF CANNED goods during shop-rites can-can sale.

frozen veggies,
tissues
TONS OF TOILET PAPER - WALDBAUMS RIGHT NOW!!

plan on spending about $300.00 to get a good start. that is, if you plan like i do, and you should... if you have time to get like four or five newspapers newsday and others (every newspaper puts out different amounts to save on the same item... city papers typically have higher savinGs) then do the shop after that. If it's something that you need, buy it with the coupon.

I stocked up on shampoos and all the bathroom items and it has taken me a looonnng time to get through them all, and i very rarely run out of anything. i NEVER have to run to the store because i don't have something. STOCK UP!!
ENjoy it! iT'S SO MUCH FUN!!
