stock up on 50 cupboard ingredients and only buy a few fresh ingredients each time you cook

Using the same 50 cupboard ingredients across all of our recipes means we only have to buy a couple of fresh ingredients each time we cook. This helps us with buying less on shopping trips and cooking last minute meals.
