I always have the nonperishables - flour, sugar, salt, baking powder, baking soda, cornstarch, herbs and spices, oil, chocolate chips, brown sugar, rice, Campbell soup, pasta, tuna. For everything else, I check the recipe for what I need before I go shopping. I almost never have to run out to get an ingredient in the middle of cooking something.

A question like this makes me realize how old fashioned my kitchen habits are. My husband and I eat out about three times a month. All other meals are home cooked. My pantry and freezer are both stocked for a month.
