**Classic Essentials**: You definitely want to have things like rice, pasta, canned tomatoes, and beans. They’re super versatile and can be the base for so many meals. Oh, and don’t forget about flour and sugar for baking!

**Spice It Up**: Besides the basics like olive oil and vinegar, make sure to stock up on spices! Salt, pepper, garlic powder, and maybe some chili flakes can really elevate your dishes. A little seasoning goes a long way!

**Quick Fixes**: If you’re looking for quick meals, having frozen veggies, chicken broth, and some sort of protein like canned tuna or lentils is a game changer. You can whip up a meal in no time with those!
