What are your favourite items to stockpile, and why?

[pepperami]

Oh dear! I don’t think I’m quite getting the hang of this stockpiling?

I bought an extra Pot Noodle a two jars of fish paste.
Other than that it’s been normal shopping for me

What it's useful for is building a meal around and for keeping almost indefinately in a dry store cupboard. Having that blast of first class protein in there means you can add beans/whatever to make up the rest.

I'd be interested to know if anyone has come up with any great food combinations that maybe they wouldn't have tried if it weren't for shortages on the shelves of their normal purchases? You know, like, has anyone discovered that cheese is really nice with a good cheap chocolate spread, served with a ten year old tin of beans and sausages, or that the last wilting broccoli is perked up wonderfully by sprinkling stale rich tea biscuits on top and a blob of creme fraiche that has been lurking in the back of the fridge since 2013?

Reduced aisle - Dorito hot n spicy dipping sauce added to baked beans is pleasurable.

2 heaped tablespoons into a generic 24p pack of instant noodles is also good.

As for the stockpiling thing... I've still got a kilo or 2 of raspberries from last year in the freezer. I see my plants are getting very leafy again

Chicken, Twiglets, and Branston hot.

Yes I discovered a couple of unexpectedly delicious combos, from having to choose unusual food items from the little choice on the shelves recently.

However, a tour of the beer aisle tends to be more interesting. You can clearly see what sells and what doean't sell. You would think someone must be buying hipsterish IPAs, but not at the supermarket, because the big name lagers are always all gone, leaving the other stuff. I'm guessing that consumption preferences don't really change, which must mean that supermarkets present a range of these alternative, less popular items for reasons other than to sell them. In other words, shelf space for product 1 to help sell product 2. I don't know. However, even stockpilers don't seem to want what experts are telling them is good. Sort of like the restaurant trap. In any case niche breweries won't come out of this in great shape.

Coconut oil (some for cooking, some to put on my scar)
Cat biscuits/meat in jelly
Proper soap that lathers nicely.
Ibuprofen

Pretty much everything else, I can improvise.

Just got back from Asda, and got all of the above, and just some odd bits and bobs, whatever was left.

It would have been nice to get hold of some fresh eggs (1 carton, very broken) ... and some pasta, but the only thing remotely like that was vermicelli in the World Food aisles.

I can wait.

I've got 25-30 cans of baked beans in the pantry. It's not because of the Covid-19, it was 50% off about 2 months ago and it's also my favourite ''I don't want to cook anything'' kind of meal.
