The items below are used frequently in recipes and you will always want to have a good supply on hand. Most are not perishable, and therefore the best savings come from stocking up when they are at their lowest price, and avoiding purchasing them only as needed. These items will be noted each week, but usually not included in the week's shopping list, as I will assume you have these on hand. Canned goods, oils, eggs and butter can be purchased in bulk at your local warehouse store for great prices.
