Online Extra: Simplify Dinners


We recommend buying these items in bulk when they are on sale.


-Cream of chicken (or mushroom, celery, etc.) soup

-Canned Diced tomatoes

-Canned corn

-Canned Black beans

-Instant or long-cooking rice

-Pasta noodles

-Canned chicken broth or chicken bouillon cubes

-Cartons of soy milk (the kind that doesn’t need to be refrigerated until it’s opened)

-Salsa

-Baking mix (such as Bisquick)

-Spaghetti sauce

-Brown sugar


If you have extra room in your freezer, you can also stock up on items such as meat, poultry, cheese, and even butter when they are on sale. Divide into smaller portions and store in freezer bags until you’re ready to use them.
