What do you stock your pantry/fridge with?
 

What do you keep stocked in your kitchen, no matter what?

Currently my pantry/kitchen/fridge has never run out of the following since I moved in:
- soba noodles (I do need to stock up later this month though)
- udon noodles
- spaghetti (for some reason I have the restaurant-style bulk 5lb bag in my pantry)
- frozen ramen
- onions
- potatoes
- miso (soy bean paste, ingredient for miso soup)
- various spices
- soy sauce
- and most importantly, RICE.

Just usually things I can cook meals with.

- rice
- vegetables
- frozen foods: ground beef, chicken, shrimp, steak
- garlic
- potatoes
- lots of spices

Then there are other things like cereal, milk, and eggs. I don't usually have a lot of bread stocked up like most people I know though.

-ramen noodles
-hot pockets
-mountain dew

that's about it, i think.

-water
-coffee
-chips
-snacks
-black tea,white tea
-ice cream
-fruit
-chocolate
-some expired food that I've forgotten to throw away
Junk-freeze,isn't it? :p

Shorty, are you a vegetarian?

-Rice
-Pasta
-instant potatoes
-rose' wine
-tomatos,spinach,carrots,celery
-meat (pork,hamburger, or fish)
-cold filtered water
-yogurt
-oatmeal and cold cereal
-rice pattys
-orange juice/v8


That usually gives me all i need....carbs, salads, and protein..with a heaping portion of high quality h20

I don't know why you'd derive that I am from my post, but to answer your question, no, I'm not. :)

I buy most of my groceries with the itenerary of "I'm only buying ingredients for what I'm cooking tonight." so perishables like meats, veggies and fish can sometimes go out of stock if I'm having a busy week and don't plan on cooking. Otherwise, the posted stuff is most of the stuff I keep stocked no matter what since it has a pretty good shelf life and cheaper to buy in bulk. No sense buying milk and eggs in bulk even if it's cheaper if you can't eat / drink through them fast enough that it doesn't go bad. =P

My go-to meal when I'm too tired to cook a full meal or too broke to buy fast food is cooked soba noodles in soup, a hard-boiled egg, some spinach (if available) over the noodles, and canned fish.

-Milk. I love that stuff and need it in there at all times.
-Sour Cream. I eat tons and still I buy more than I eat
-Carrots
-Sauces, especially Ketchup
-Eggs... takes forever to eat them, and when I do, its only because I had bought another one.

Rice.

Then everything else depends if I'm not lazy enough to make something else. I usually don't have the time/motivation to cook anything, so: White rice FTW.

The following is in my fridge at all times:

• Orangina
• Cream Soda
• Root Beer
• Green Tea
• Water (I have a drinking problem, okay?)
• Swiss Cheese

As per pantry:

• Red Curry Noodle Mix
• Beef Stew
• Pretzels (these are KEY)
• Various teas (red tea, constant comment, etc)
• Jasmine Rice
• An unfeasibly large amount of canned fruits

Fridge/Freezer:
-Orange Juice
-Coke
-Honey Mustard
-Honey Battered Chicken Nuggets
-French Fries/Tater Tots
-Bags with 1 piece of chicken/pork chops/other meat (since I bought a George Foreman Grill)
-Soup from Safeway deli (frozen)

Y'know, I was really really surprised when I tried this stuff. It's really DAMN good all things considered.
