I agree with S_J_B about herbs and spices. I used to just have mixed herbs in my cupboard, now I have a whole shelf of various things. I buy a lot of tinned fish like mackerel in tomato sauce, and tuna in spring water, both useful for salads or to go with pasta. Fruit and veg is a must. When I started out I stocked up on cupboard staples, in addition to herbs/spices, made sure I had pasta, rice, porridge oats, baked beans, tinned spaghetti, tinned tomatoes etc.

LOL, I've done the same! I had a stand with a dozen different jars on it, but I must have at least doubled that number now and I've had to make drawer space for them
I had never heard of Quark before starting back on SW but now I always have some in the fridge.
I have also invested in essential kitchen equipment.
A digital kitchen scales (much more accurate)
A set of measuring spoons (so I don't underestimate my syns)
A garlic crusher
Lots of storage boxes for freezing portions of chili, bolognaise etc. This means I always have a healthy option for tea if I'm too tired to cook from scratch.
