π Freezer & Easy Meal Staples
Freezer favourites and easy meal shortcuts I keep on hand for quick, simple dinners.
Β
One of my favourite βI donβt feel like actually cookingβ groceries. π The chicken is already fully cooked, so I can throw it into wraps, salads, pasta, rice bowls or whatever quick meal Iβm making instead of starting with raw chicken. I LOVE keeping...
π Great Value Fully Cooked Chicken Breast Strips
Β
Such a convenient freezer staple for quick dinners. ππ€ I love having salmon portions ready to grab when I donβt know what to make. Add some seasoning, make rice or potatoes and vegetables on the side and dinner is basically figured out. Itβs one of...
π Great Value Wild Caught Pink Salmon Portions
Β
I buy frozen peppers because sometimes I simply cannot be bothered to chop another vegetable. ππ« Having red, green and yellow peppers already sliced makes it so easy to throw some into chicken, pasta, rice, stir-fries, fajitas or basically anything...
π« Great Value Frozen Sliced 3 Pepper Blend
Β
One of my favourite easy vegetables to keep in the freezer. π½ I love Peaches & Cream corn because it has that naturally sweet flavour and works as such an easy side with almost anything. I can make exactly how much I need and keep the rest froze...
π½ Green Giant Peaches & Cream Super Sweet Corn
π Pantry Staples
The everyday pantry basics I regularly stock up on and use in my meals.
Β
A BIG bag of rice is an essential in my house. ππ Basmati works with so many of the meals I make, so I would much rather buy a larger bag than constantly replace the little ones. I use it with chicken, salmon, curries, rice bowls and basically anyt...
π Sitara Premium Basmati Rice
Β
I usually have a few jars of this on deck because it makes dinner SO easy. The roasted garlic gives the Alfredo more flavour than a plain cream sauce, and I use it whenever I want a quick pasta without making sauce from scratch. Add chicken or salmon...
π Classico Alfredo & Roasted Garlic Pasta Sauce
Β
A pasta shape I always like having in the cupboard. Penne is perfect for creamy sauces because all that sauce gets into the pasta, and it works so well for quick chicken or salmon pastas. Pair this with my Classico roasted garlic Alfredo, add some sp...
π Primo Penne Rigate
Β
Another pasta I keep around because sometimes the pasta shape absolutely changes the meal. Linguine is my pick when I want something a little different from penne, especially with creamy or garlic sauces and salmon. Itβs inexpensive, easy to keep sto...
π Primo Linguine
π¦ Snacks, Treats & Desserts
My favourite little snacks, sweet treats and desserts that are always worth adding to the cart.
Β
These are SO good if you love mango. π₯π They have that creamy Melona texture and sweet fruity flavour, but this version is dairy-free. Such an easy little freezer treat when I want something sweet and refreshing without having a full dessert.
π¦ Melona Dairy-Free Mango Ice Cream Bars
Β
The coconut ones are another favourite. π₯₯π€ Creamy, sweet and super refreshing β especially when you want something cold but arenβt in the mood for regular ice cream. If you already like coconut-flavoured anything, these are definitely worth trying.
π₯₯ Melona Coconut Ice Bars
Β
Coconut water is something I genuinely like having stocked at home, so getting it by the case just makes sense for me. π₯₯ I love Grace because itβs refreshing on its own straight from the fridge, but I also use coconut water in drinks and different l...
Grace - Coconut Water Cans 24 x 500 ml
Β
A drink I genuinely like keeping stocked at home. π₯€ Canada Dry is crisp, refreshing and one of those drinks that works whether Iβm having it with dinner, pouring a glass over ice or just want something fizzy. Iβd rather grab the bigger 24-pack so th...
π₯€ Canada Dry Ginger Ale 24-Pack
π₯― Breakfast & Bakery
Easy breakfast favourites and bakery staples I actually buy and keep coming back to.
Β
Everything bagels are one of my go-to easy breakfasts. π₯―π€ Toast one and add cream cheese and Iβm happy, but theyβre also so good for breakfast sandwiches when I want something more filling. These are affordable, easy to keep on hand and one of thos...
π₯― Great Value Everything Bagels
π₯¬ Fresh Produce
The fruits, veggies and fresh staples that regularly make it into my grocery cart. π€
Β
Potatoes are ALWAYS a grocery staple in my house. π₯π€ I especially like yellow potatoes because theyβre so versatile β mashed, roasted, air-fried, baked or added alongside chicken, salmon and veggies. A 5 lb bag lasts through multiple meals and make...
π₯ Your Fresh Market Yellow Potatoes
Β
One of those fresh groceries I buy because theyβre SO easy to actually use. π₯ I love mini cucumbers for salads, wraps, snacking or just slicing up as a quick side with dinner. No peeling or much prep needed, and the smaller size makes them perfect w...
π₯ Mini Cucumbers
Β
Such an easy shortcut when I want something fresh on the side without making a whole salad from scratch. π₯ I like grabbing prepared coleslaw for dinners because thereβs basically no prep β open it, serve it and youβre done. Perfect alongside BBQ, ch...
π₯ Fresh Market Coleslaw Salad
Β
Spinach is one of those groceries thatβs ridiculously easy to sneak into meals. π₯¬ Iβll add it to pasta, eggs, salads, wraps or cook it down as a quick vegetable with dinner. I like getting the bigger container because once spinach cooks down, you re...
π₯¬ Your Fresh Market Value Size Spinach
Β
I LOVE making bell peppers, so these are definitely a regular produce buy for me. π« I use them in so many different meals β with chicken, pasta, rice, stir-fries, fajitas or just cooked and seasoned as a side. I especially love getting the rainbow p...
π« Rainbow Bell XL Peppers
π₯ Dairy & Refrigerated Staples
Fridge staples I regularly keep stocked for everyday meals, snacks and easy recipes. π€
Β
This is one of those ingredients I always find a use for. π§ I love having shredded cheddar ready to go for pasta, eggs, wraps, nachos, potatoes and quick dinners when something just needs a little extra cheese. The old cheddar has a stronger, richer...
π§ Great Value Old Cheddar Shredded Cheese
Β
Eggs are definitely an everyday staple in my house, so buying the larger pack just makes sense. π₯π€ I use them for quick breakfasts, breakfast sandwiches, baking and those days when I need something easy without figuring out an entire meal. A 30-pac...
