What would be considered your "basics" to have in your pantry,,cupboards. What food items do you think its best to have on hand at all times if possible,,to help whip up a meal.I am thinking,,flour, sugar, baking soda,,yeast packets(?) Gravy mixes and a assortment of spices.

What would "basics" be to you. Hungry

Oops,,also thinking powder milk for baking and cooking.
