Always Keep These 12 Emergency Foods in Your Pantry (Save Hundreds Every Year)

There was a stretch of about three years where I did the whole month's food on whatever was left after everything else was paid. What got us through the bad weeks was nine or ten things that were always in that cupboard. Twelve things I'd keep now, and the honest arithmetic on what a pantry actually saves you. In this video: Dried beans, and the Sunday habit that makes them a real part of your week Why white rice and not brown, and why rice is a base and not a meal Oats, and how they stretched a pound of mince to feed five The three items most lists leave off entirely Dried milk, which nobody likes and which I will defend Where the money actually comes from, and it isn't the sale price The one thing I'd rather you had than all twelve of these Why you must not go and buy all of this on Saturday Everything here, plus freezer methods, storage that makes food last, and a shopping list that covers a month, is in The Smart Kitchen Handbook.
