Chef Chris Aquilino , director of culinary at Elior North America , likes to jazz up his meals with jarred items, including pesto, olives, jalapeños, artichokes, sardines, and anchovies.

They also stay fresh for a long time. According to Aquilino, herb purées, such as basil and cilantro, can even stay fresh for weeks at a time. So don't be afraid to open up that tube. Aquilino also suggests stocking up on tomato paste.

There are numerous ways to cook with tomato paste including topping fish and making barbeque sauce. While you can easily find canned tomato paste at most supermarkets, Aquilino prefers the kind available in a tube.

Good frugal tips for everyone - NEVER carry balances and try to rack up credit card reward points, miles, or cashback bonuses in the case of Discover Card.

I get hundreds of dollars back from Discover every year. There were a few items, particularly in the produce and dairy section that were not a very good deal so I passed on those. I don't blame them for throwing in a small percentage of full-priced convenience foods like Milk and eggs.

I'm frugal, but I also like one-stop shopping my time is valuable too. Not too bad, but not great either. I wanted tomatoes but they were not a good deal at all and they looked like the pale red tasteless kind shipped in from some greenhouse farm factory. Sometimes I like to boil red potatoes and just eat them with a little butter and salt it's a German thing.

I use Bacon very sparingly for seasoning other foods. For example, adding a piece or two to an entire crockpot of pinto beans to add flavor. Or frying up a piece of bacon next to my eggs can't beat bacon grease for flavor there or to dice up for a spinach salad topping.

In my experience frozen bacon stays viable for a very long time compared to other frozen meats. The 4 lbs. of bacon I bought for seasoning will last me 6 months or longer.

Carnivorous Bargain Hunters Rejoice There were also big packages of clearance meat randomly piled up in one cooler. I didn't explore those deals very closely though since I'm not a huge meat eater.

I am a cheap-skate afterall! But there is probably more of a goldmine of bargains for the more carnivorous bargain hunter willing to dig through these bulk meat coolers. Overall, I could easily be a vegetarian and eat very little meat especially the much over-rated expensive cuts of red meat.

So even bargain bins of beef don't impress me much. Less meat in your diet is probably THE 1 way to save money on food and slash your monthly grocery bill - with the additional benefits of possibly improving health and lessening your environmental impact if you are one of the minority who cares about sustainable living.

Western cultures eat way too much meat anyway. Regularly consuming too much animal fats is a leading contributor to many modern diseases such as heart disease and colon cancer, especially here in the Southern United States. There are lots of other good cheap sources of protein such as the beans in my list of Bargain Foods bargains lower down this page.

I think every frugal person who gardens, cooks, and loves deep discount grocery stores like Bargain Foods in Pelzer SC should have a freezer because it allows you to load up on these types of food sales - from breads to meats to vegetables to fruits to cheeses.

A freezer inventory helps reduce shopping trips time, fuel, frustration and allows you to get the most bang for your buck by allowing you to stretch those deals out longer. If you grow a garden, a freezer is a great way to cut your grocery bill because you can stockpile surplus harvests of cheap wholesome veggies and fruits and use them when you need them, especially during the cold season when prices rise on produce.

You can also cook in bulk ahead of time and have frozen meals ready for the microwave when you don't feel like cooking. That's what I do. I hardly ever get just one meal out of a pot.

And if you are an avid fisherman like me, or hunt or forage for wild foods you already likely know that a stand-alone freezer is a must-have. A great household investment if you ask me. Back to Bargain Foods Store Bulk Boxes of Beef, Chicken, Pork, Fish, Shrimp, Rabbit, Frog Legs, Organ Meats, ect.

There is also lots of big boxes of cheap bulk meat on the last aisle, and a good selection of other cuts on the second to last aisle. Update: according to one employee, " we have an on-site experienced meat cutter and we offer the freshest meat of all popular sorts and at very competitive prices ".

You will find all sorts of deals on beef, chicken, pork, shrimp, scallops, Flounder, Perch, Salmon, Talapia fish, etc. I did notice some meats came from China - a country I have grown to be greatly distrustful of in regards to product quality and safety - not just on food items.

I'll save those stories for another day. No telling how much chemicals or mercury may be in some of those things. Could be less than here in the U. Who really knows? But foods from China I particularly distrust due to their history of recalls, all the recent serious contamination incidents, and their lax or non-existent environmental oversight.

Plus meat from China has likely been frozen for a very long time and I've often noticed can taste, um, not very good. But if you are like many people and could care less, then go whole hog on the bulk meat. I'd just recommend you split a box with someone else and taste it first before committing to a large purchase.

You can always get more on the next trip. I bought a large bag of very cheaply priced Sea Trout from one of Bargain Foods' nearby competitors. I was very disappointed. It tasted horrible. The cat wouldn't even eat it! So be careful about loading the boat on some deep discounts, especially on the frozen meat aisle.

But one bulk meat item I do recommend is the big 10 lb. For convenience, I portioned out the box into portions of four or five chicken breast pieces per ziplock freezer bag, and froze them.

Makes for frugal, quick, and easy meals. Bargain Foods has a large variety of beef patties, pork, and chicken breast in large boxes, with inventory often changing.

The Pelzer SC Bargain Food Store has all kinds of items for sale that I wasn't expecting to see in a grocery store. From farm supplies like bulk horse and chicken feed and fencing materials to an eclectic selection of discounted beauty, art, and hardware supplies including water heaters and toilets!

Wheelbarrows, water heaters, and Toilets next to groceries? Yup, not your average grocery store. lol But I still like it! Going to Bargains is always an exciting scavenger and treasure hunt.

Beggers and Choosers Since I'm not quite a beggar, I can still afford to be a little bit of a chooser - such as I was when I chose the discounted Peter Pan peanut butter, over the larger and cheaper container shipped from Saudi Arabia Arabic writing on jar caught my eye.

But most of the time we really don't know where our food comes from anyway. Labels often don't tell the true tale about country of origin.

Evidently, there's a lot of "organic" false advertising going on at higher priced chains, based on recent news stories. I'm not a food snob by any stretch more of a Great Value kind of guy.

But I still try to be mildly discerning where I can. I saw a wide variety of store branded products from various grocery chains, such as: Albertsons, Wal-mart, Meijers, Food Lion, and many others I had never even heard of.

Maybe some of the little known sources are now bankrupt operations liquidating their inventories. Or in many cases it appears to be outdated or nearly outdated clear outs and close-outs from small to regional to national chains in other states or countries. There are also many "scratch and dent" sales on things like brand name canned soups, which I passed on.

I make my own soups and freeze extra it's cheaper and a lot healthier than the high sodium canned stuff. But I bought a lot of perfectly fine un-dented canned goods for cents a can. The large restaurant-size bulk canned goods are an even better deal in many cases.

But again pay particular attention to dates because some items are well past the "best before" dates. I saw several things that were a year or more outdated. But many items are not yet outdated. Either way, you can get brand name foods cheap!

Also be aware that some items may have involved some type of less than catastrophic defect somewhere along the supply chain. Most things appear perfectly fine, but I noticed a few things that were cheap for a reason related to the actual manufacturing process, maybe.

So if you discover a great price, be careful before buying boxes and boxes of it. I'm now glad I held back on loading up on a few deals. We saw one old-timer pushing out a buggy with a 4 foot high stack of about 7 boxes of the marked-down hickory smoked bacon. I sure hope for his sake all is well with it.

At least with my piddly 4 lbs. of it I have little to lose but a few dollars if by chance something's wrong - which I highly doubt.

High fat, salt cured, smoked, and vacuum packed bacon? Not very hospitable conditions for bacterial growth. The above image is of the Bargain Foods Warehouse in Pelzer South Carolina directly adjacent to the actual store. An employee confirmed to me that this is the building where they receive the food shipments and then bring it next door to stock the shelves of the store.

They were carting over loose canned goods in buggies while we were there. At first glance, I thought this side of Bargain Foods was a lawn and garden section with the pallets seen in the image maybe being garden soils and fertilizer. I was hoping food wasn't on any of the pallets in trailers or outside see the following update.

Update: I was recently contacted by "a proud bargains employee" who stated the following We NEVER store food in pallets out-of-doors!

I guess my initial thought about the pallets being lawn and garden supplies was correct. Good to know pallets of food are never stored outside. And I've since found some great bargains on gardening supplies, such as bedding plants, soil, and stepping stones.

Look under the covered sidewalk outside. I'd LOVE to get some more insiders' details from any other Bargain Foods employees or frequent shoppers via the below sharing form.

Would love it if the owner himself could share more details about this location. Bittersweet Bargains? I almost bought an entire box of the below Hershey Chocolate bars I actually rarely ever eat candy - but I knew I could freeze the chocolate. But I decided to buy only a few Hershey bars after all, and it's a good thing I decided to hold back on a bulk buy.

After opening and tasting one, I now know something is off. The nuts in it taste a whee bit stale and there is light-colored spots on the bars, as if the cocoa powder had not been mixed in well in the factory.

Who knows what the back stories are. There is some above average mystery to some of these below average prices. Check the items out as closely as you can. The below Reeses cups also look as if they got too warm at some point and stuck a little to the wrappers with a bit of mottling on top, as you'd expect if they got warm at some point.

Maybe a refer truck hauling them lost refrigeration for a few minutes in Texas last summer. Another example of possible factory flaw was a pallet of un-labeled bottles of ketchup each bottle with ketchup of a slightly different shade of red.

Tasted perfectly fine though. I suspect some factories may sell off the accumulated fraction of product from their assembly lines which may not quite meet specifications. Maybe a pH titration was a tiny bit off, or different lots of tomatoes caused mixed colors in a grocery store's end cap display.

Like I said Despite my gut feeling, I bought a fancy Pad Thai noodle soup that I ended up later throwing away because while preparing it I found the sealed pack of prepared noodles inside smelled rancid.

I should have listened to the family member who told me not to buy it. That's the sort of prepared food I'll know to avoid next time. It looked like it was not outdated on the package, though sometimes it can be hard to interpret those numbers.

Next time I'll be even more judicious with what I buy, and avoid certain types of processed foods, as I normally do anyway.

At least the below dry pasta turned out to be an excellent buy with no quality problems. Pasta lasts a very long time anyway. Is it legal for grocery stores to sell outdated foods?

If you go shopping at Bargain Foods in Pelzer you may find yourself asking that question. After some research online I've verified that it is legal to sell most outdated foods in most cases, with exceptions being foods that can become potentially dangerous, such as dairy or packaged meats.

I had been wondering about these type discount grocery stores selling outdated food for cheap ever since I saw an episode of TLC's "Extreme Cheapskates" in which a particularly frugal mother was shopping in a bargain food store similar to this one in Pelzer South Carolina.

Now this lady was beyond frugal. She was the one who insisted the family members use cloth rags in place of toilet tissue, with the used rags getting re-washed and re-used over and over. Besides the free road-side salad greens she and the kiddies picked, she was getting tremendous deals on slightly outdated but safe items from a bargain food warehouse.

After that episode I was wishing we had such a store here. I'm glad there is a store like Bargain Foods in this area where outdated and close out foods can be bought by us more economic folks. But I am also not as paranoid or bacteria phobic as the average American seems to be when it comes to "beyond sell by date" food.

I know many people who will not hesitate to throw away any perfectly good food item which has gone past its "sell by" date. It's one of the most disgustingly wasteful and stupid things millions of Americans do.

Wake up people! Stop throwing cash in your trash and food into landfills. I often eat "outdated" foods and have never had food poisoning from anything in my fridge or pantry.

The human sense of smell is amazingly effective at detecting decomposition in food. If it smells fine, I'll usually eat it. It's hard to believe that Americans throw away MORE THAN HALF OF ALL FOOD purchased!

Think about that. That equates to lots of cash in the trash and lots of needless environmental damage simply due to human apathy and waste. Bargain Foods in Pelzer SC is my kind of store because instead of all that outdated food being destroyed, it can instead be sold to thrifty and low-income families who may be willing to sacrifice some quality for a lower price.

But don't get me wrong, the MAJORITY of items sold at Bargain Foods Store are of full quality. Most of the salvage food business is built on brand close-outs. Or maybe the outer package has minor cosmetic flaws, such as a dented outer box of the otherwise expensive Kashi cereal I often find at Bargain Foods.

The Sealed bags inside are always perfectly fine. Despite Popular Belief, Bargain Foods in Pelzer SC is not just frequented by low income families on "food stamps".

I believe the SNAP benefits formerly Food Stamps program renews early every month. Employees have told me Bargains Food Store tends to be busiest after shoppers SNAP EBT cards are re-loaded. So this is why Bargins may seem more crowded the first half of the month. But everyone shops at Bargains - rich, poor, and all levels in between.

Thrifty shoppers at Bargain Foods often include higher income families too. No doubt a lot of upper income people don't enjoy giving their whole paycheck to Whole Foods. For many higher net worth shoppers, frugal living in addition to hard work was a key pathway to becoming and staying debt free, and ultimately growing wealth.

So I'm never surprised at the broad economic diversity of bargain hunters frequenting Bargain Foods Store or any other deep discount outlet. Everyone loves to save money, especially with high food price inflation.

So shopping at this hidden gem in upstate SC is the perfect fit for anyone wanting to keep more of their hard earned money, no matter their tax bracket. These above bargains on food and household items are PAST deals that had limited supply, and thus probably no longer exist.

But they've likely since been replaced with new similar deals in the same grocery categories. Close-outs are usually one time special buys, so the available bargains are always changing, dependent on supply. The really great deals go fast.

Just because you found an amazing bargain today, definitely does not mean you will find it tomorrow. Glad I backed up the truck on this deal because I've not seen such a great deal on salmon at Bargain Foods since.

Los Angeles Houston Change Your Life Chicken is a fabulous recipe for chicken thighs! Who else grew up eating tuna fish sandwiches? I like it mixed with a bit of mayo and chopped tomatoes and served with crackers. I like to wait for a good sale and then stock up!

Smoked sausage is a great meat to keep on hand for quick meals. A little can go a long way in dishes like a breakfast casserole for example, making it very cost effective, especially if you purchase it on sale.

Hotdogs could also be used in similar ways! Eggs can be a great cheap source of protein. I say can because lately in my area the price of eggs has more than doubled.

So, take this one with a grain of salt and be sure to check your local prices for eggs. Brown rice is a great alternative to white rice with a lot of health benefits and is still a great cheap food.

I cook my brown rice with this method and it turns out perfectly every time! I use them often for oatmeal, baked oatmeal , granola , cookies, muffins, and even in meatloaf! While the very cheapest bread is not going to have the most nutritional value, watch for markdowns on nicer loaves made with whole grains.

Check the different stores around you to see which ones have a markdown cart in their bakery section — many of them do! Store-brand tortillas are typically pretty inexpensive and you can use them for all sorts of meals.

At a dollar or less a box in my area pasta is a great way to add something filling to your meal without spending a lot of money. I always like to have a few jars of pasta sauce in my pantry.

Peanut butter is an absolute staple in our home. Again, buy the store-brand or use coupons for the more expensive stuff.

Canned tomatoes are definitely an important pantry staple. I use them the most often for recipes like Taco Soup. Nothing like a bowl of cereal when you need a quick meal, am I right?

And it beats ramen noodles in my opinion! Not all cereal is cheap of course, but if you look for the store-brand you can always find some varieties that are very inexpensive. Store-brand pretzels are relatively cheap sometimes just a dollar for a bag and make a great snack option, especially if you have kids.

A well-stocked pantry should always include some basic baking goods like:. Make those inexpensive chicken thighs taste extra good by using some basic, inexpensive spices like chili powder, garlic powder, etc.

And a hanging spice rack like this is great for storing them! Now what? You may also be interested in: How to Meal Plan on a Tight Budget.

Lettuce Buy it uncut and unwashed if you want to save money! Thankfully they are very economical. Potatoes I generally find that a big bag of Russet potatoes is the cheapest option. Whatever fresh vegetables are on sale Check the ad for your local store to see what fresh produce is on sale!

To give you some idea of the tremendous savings, lower down this page I've included a list of some of the terrific bargains we took advantage of to stock up our freezer and pantry. If you check out the Pelzer SC Bargains for yourself, don't forget to take some videos or pictures with your camera phone so you can come back here and add your own comments or review of Bargain Foods Store at the bottom of this page.

Bargain Foods Store Hours am until pm Monday-Saturday CLOSED on Sundays. An employee reported that Bargains is also open all holidays EXCEPT for Thanksgiving and Christmas.

Several online sources seem to have mixed messages on what hours the Pelzer SC store is open. I've noticed the store hours have changed from time to time. So to be safe, I'd recommend you call the store yourself and verify what hours and days they are open before making a long trip.

Phone Number. Neal Batson is the friendly hard-working owner To move within the map, click on map, and without releasing drag in any direction within map. I personally talked to the owner Neal Batson.

He's a really friendly hardworking fellow. I often see him out working on the floor helping his fellow employees keep the shelves stocked with amazing bargains. He told me that helping everyone save money on food is part of his personal mission work.

He's been in the salvage food business a long time. Batson seems very conscientious and happy to offer the deepest discounts so families can save lots of money on groceries and other items. In my opinion, unlike most big box retailers and grocery chains, Bargains culture is not at all about greed driven profits.

Speaking to the owner reinforced that realization for me. This is another reason I'm happy to shop there regularly and to spread the word to help support the owner, his employees, and the local economy.

I have no affiliation with Bargain Foods or its owner. This page is my way of paying it forward to help local families and a local small business that benefits families in the Tri-state area.

We'll usually start at the Jockey Lot early on a Saturday morning to get the best deals and selection on fresh produce. Most vendors have left by mid day.

Then we'll take a short drive to nearby Bargain Foods in Pelzer SC for discount grocery shopping. Bargains is only about a 15 minute drive away from the Jockey Lot via Anderson Highway. See above interactive map. Deals Galore, Another Discount Grocery Store Hot Spot. Along the way, be sure to check out another food bargains hot spot I recently discovered: Deals Galore It's midway between the Anderson Jockey Lot and Bargain Foods.

It's a discount grocery store behind Hardees right off the Anderson Highway just before the nice little town of Williamston, South Carolina. Deals Galore Address: 28 Beaver Dam Rd, Williamston, South Carolina Deals Galore Phone : Deals Galore is another large discount food warehouse very similar to Bargains.

I took many photos inside and spoke with one of the owners. Nice guy. Nice staff too. Bright, clean, well-organized salvage food store. Neal Batson over at Bargains could use some more healthy competition. With thousands of visitors having arrived to this review since it went live, I've no doubt helped bring the store tens of thousands of dollars in new repeat business.

So I want to pay it forward and help put them on the map in a bigger way, as I have with Bargains Food Store. Please tell them Frugalicity. com sent you and please share this page using social sharing buttons at upper right.

You can use the satellite map above to find the Jockey Lot and Deals Galore Discount Grocery Store. The Jockey Lot is a square grey spot maybe 5 miles southwest of Pelzer right on Hwy 29 - which is the highway you'll cross over shortly after exiting I if you take exit 32 on your way toward Pelzer and Bargains Foods.

If you zoom in on the satellite map, you'll see the below image with all the long buildings full of indoor vendors' tables and rows of outdoor vendors' tables. It's on the south side of HWY 29, right across from what is labeled as Whitefield Cemetery.

Tip: As you might imagine from looking at the below sky view of the Jockey Lot, when the parking lot is full, there is quite a bit of walking involved to get from your vehicle to the vendors. So wear good walking shoes and bring a baby stroller, tote bags, or shopping cart to haul your flea market finds.

Bring cash too, though some vendors do accept credit cards. The following Bargain Foods video was uploaded by Gwynn Dorine who, like me, also loves deal shopping in Upstate SC. Update: Sorry, the video tour is no longer available.

I'm trying to get another one to replace it. The snarcky shopper unfortunately seems to have since shut down his Youtube channel, so his video from inside the Pelzer SC Bargain Foods Store is no longer online. Too bad.

It was really a good quick tour of deals from one end to the other. The following 9. It is courtesy of Youtube user "theIaughinghyena". So a big thanks goes out to this publisher. WARNING: If a little cursing offends you, you may not want to watch this video.

I don't know the video publisher, nor is he affiliate with Frugalicity. com, but his is the best video from inside the Pelzer store I was able to find, so I've included it for your viewing pleasure. You will clearly see just how big this store full of cheap food is. I'd estimate it's about 4 times the size of an Aldis or Trader Joes and with better deals and much more extensive selection overall.

Hannah loves food and preventing food waste. She also loves saving money on food at her favorite salvage food store in Pelzer SC. In her below video she gives you a glimpse inside Bargains Foods as part of her short video entry into the Bocconi Expo competition. FoodSavingBEC Thanks for your excellent video Hannah, and with credit also going to Youtuber "moneylovingguy".

If anyone wants to whip out their i-phone while shopping there and make a quick short video tour through the aisles, or take some pictures of your deals found inside the Pelzer Bargains, please do share them with us by providing a link to your uploaded video file on Youtube set to allow for embed on websites or elsewhere, or by directly adding any pertinent photos via the easy sharing form at the bottom of this page.

I and many others will greatly appreciate it and I'll be sure to give you full credit and a link to your Youtube channel if applicable. Until then, here is another short video related to the Pelzer South Carolina Bargain Foods store.

It highlights a few hair accessory deals one resourceful shopper bought there. Proves Bargains is not just for food deals. Credit for below video goes to Youtube user: " tashaislovnit". The parking lot was full and every shopping cart at checkout was jam packed. You can tell it is a popular spot for stocking up on discounted grocery items.

I've never had to wait in line more than a few minutes at checkout. They keep the registers and aisles well staffed. I paid with a Discover Card, so I do know they take credit cards. Update: An employee confirmed to me that Bargains accepts Discover, Visa, Mastercard, but NOT American Express.

For other types of payment, such as check or debit cards, you may want to call the above number and ask. I believe they do take checks. Good frugal tips for everyone - NEVER carry balances and try to rack up credit card reward points, miles, or cashback bonuses in the case of Discover Card.

I get hundreds of dollars back from Discover every year. There were a few items, particularly in the produce and dairy section that were not a very good deal so I passed on those. I don't blame them for throwing in a small percentage of full-priced convenience foods like Milk and eggs.

I'm frugal, but I also like one-stop shopping my time is valuable too. Not too bad, but not great either. I wanted tomatoes but they were not a good deal at all and they looked like the pale red tasteless kind shipped in from some greenhouse farm factory.

Sometimes I like to boil red potatoes and just eat them with a little butter and salt it's a German thing. I use Bacon very sparingly for seasoning other foods.

For example, adding a piece or two to an entire crockpot of pinto beans to add flavor. Or frying up a piece of bacon next to my eggs can't beat bacon grease for flavor there or to dice up for a spinach salad topping.

In my experience frozen bacon stays viable for a very long time compared to other frozen meats. The 4 lbs. of bacon I bought for seasoning will last me 6 months or longer. Carnivorous Bargain Hunters Rejoice There were also big packages of clearance meat randomly piled up in one cooler.

I didn't explore those deals very closely though since I'm not a huge meat eater. I am a cheap-skate afterall! But there is probably more of a goldmine of bargains for the more carnivorous bargain hunter willing to dig through these bulk meat coolers. Overall, I could easily be a vegetarian and eat very little meat especially the much over-rated expensive cuts of red meat.

So even bargain bins of beef don't impress me much. Less meat in your diet is probably THE 1 way to save money on food and slash your monthly grocery bill - with the additional benefits of possibly improving health and lessening your environmental impact if you are one of the minority who cares about sustainable living.

Western cultures eat way too much meat anyway. Regularly consuming too much animal fats is a leading contributor to many modern diseases such as heart disease and colon cancer, especially here in the Southern United States. There are lots of other good cheap sources of protein such as the beans in my list of Bargain Foods bargains lower down this page.

I think every frugal person who gardens, cooks, and loves deep discount grocery stores like Bargain Foods in Pelzer SC should have a freezer because it allows you to load up on these types of food sales - from breads to meats to vegetables to fruits to cheeses.

A freezer inventory helps reduce shopping trips time, fuel, frustration and allows you to get the most bang for your buck by allowing you to stretch those deals out longer. If you grow a garden, a freezer is a great way to cut your grocery bill because you can stockpile surplus harvests of cheap wholesome veggies and fruits and use them when you need them, especially during the cold season when prices rise on produce.

You can also cook in bulk ahead of time and have frozen meals ready for the microwave when you don't feel like cooking. That's what I do. I hardly ever get just one meal out of a pot. And if you are an avid fisherman like me, or hunt or forage for wild foods you already likely know that a stand-alone freezer is a must-have.

A great household investment if you ask me. Back to Bargain Foods Store Every week I make Pressure Cooker Beans with bay leaf and other aromatics and a big pot of rice in my rice cooker.

We add salsa, sliced avocado, or any leftovers like grilled chicken or vegetables to make an affordable, quick meal. Then McCord uses the leftover rice to whip up a variety of recipes including Rice Cakes , Leftover Rice Pudding , and Breakfast Rice Bake.

So both of these ingredients can stretch your dollar and time as far as possible. While many people are hesitant to stock up on fresh foods because they are perishable—potatoes are the exception to this rule. Sick of plain pasta again? Chef Chris Aquilino , director of culinary at Elior North America , likes to jazz up his meals with jarred items, including pesto, olives, jalapeños, artichokes, sardines, and anchovies.

They also stay fresh for a long time. According to Aquilino, herb purées, such as basil and cilantro, can even stay fresh for weeks at a time. So don't be afraid to open up that tube.

Aquilino also suggests stocking up on tomato paste.
