You don't need to drop $500 at once to build a pantry. Start by buying one or two extra staples each week.
The Core Essentials
- Grains: Rice, oats, pasta.
- Proteins: Dried beans, lentils, canned tuna.
- Baking: Flour, sugar, yeast, baking powder.
- Flavor: Bouillon, soy sauce, basic spices.
When you have these, you always have a meal.
