If you would like to participate in some of the menu/meal planning that will start in January, consider stockpiling some of these items if you happen to see them on sale in the next month. I will also include what I think is a good price to watch for, but keep in mind that different areas have different prices on food. You might want to watch your ads and stores for a couple weeks if you're not sure what is a good price for your area. This is not a comprehensive list. Please look through some of the recipes already posted for other ideas of ingredients you can stockpile.
