Fridge & cupboard 'must haves' for SW

[.Nicki.]

Just be aware that the pitta bread isn't a HEB any more

ASDA wholemeal ones are, just checked on lifeline online!

That's the old ones that were discontinued. The new ones are made by a different company, have different ingredients including oil, and don't have very much fibre in them so they don't count as a HEB. SW just take ages to update the site.

Planning on doing a huge shop to stock my fridge and cupboards tonight. What are you SW must haves? What do you use again and again and can't get by without?

To be honest I plan my shopping each week depending on my menu, what I need to use up and what's on offer. But here is a rough list

Dairy
UHT skimmed milk
Asda sweet chilli cottage cheese
Quark
RF creme fraiche (not syn free)
Fruit yoghurts
RF cheese

Peppers

Tomatoes - vine and baby plum
Courgetter
