What are your staples?

[ElsaVonM]

The stuff you ALWAYS have in the fridge or freezer? 

[twotrue]

I kept reading that as "Where are your staples?" and I'm like...ummmm in my desk drawer. :-p

What's always in the fridge:

- frozen chicken breasts
- frozen shrimp
- edemame
- ice cream
- a loaf of bread
- usually some chorizo my parents bring from CA on their trips out

Everything else varies. Like right now I have some random artichoke and spinach popper things that looked really good when I was shopping and starving. :-p I also have a few 1lb packs of ground turkey and other mismatched items.

Fridge: OJ, 2% milk, various assorted condiments and salad dressings, eggs, lunch meat, cheddar slices, shredded cheddar, whatever fruit is in season, string cheese, Greek yogurt for me, yogurt tubes and regular yogurt for E, juice packs for E's lunches, onions, mini carrots, beer.

Freezer: the freezer on the fridge that came with this house blows and freezer burn is an issue. I'm hoping to get an upright freezer for my garage. So for now, there's not a lot of what I'd like to have. Staples are: ice cream, turkey breakfast sausage, bread, peas, some bags of leftover spaghetti sauce, raviolis.

My fridge always has pickles and orange juice. If there are no pickles, then someone dies.
