Cooler weather affects our appetites and summons that age old question, “What’s for dinner?” As fall approaches, it’s time to restock your pantry with the essentials for heartier meals, like your favorite homemade soups and stews, or even baked goods, like muffins and cookies.
Here are five pantry items to buy at Big Lots this fall.
Quaker Oats
Family favorites, Quaker Old Fashioned Oats and Quaker Whole Grain Oats Quick 1-Minute Oats come in 42-ounce containers and cost $5.11 each, which is 19% off the original price of $6.29 or a savings of $1.18.
While this product is a staple in recipes like meatloaf and oatmeal cookies, don’t forget that Quaker oats also make a great hot cereal on a cool morning with fruit and milk.
Onion Soup Mix
Lipton Recipe Secrets Onion Soup and Dip Mix 2-ounce package costs $1.79, 10% off the original price of $1.99, or a savings of $0.20.
Your friends and family will want to know your secret when you use Lipton onion soup mix to add flavor to burgers and meatloaf, create a savory onion glaze for baked ham or make perfectly roasted onion potatoes.
Diced Tomatoes
A 10-ounce can of Rotel Diced Tomatoes and Green Chilis costs $1.29, which is $0.30 less than the regular price of $1.59.
The product is a great base for making chili and can add a little spice to Spanish rice. Consider draining and adding to chicken nachos as a flavor-filled topping.
Pumpkin
Polar All Natural Pumpkin in a 30-ounce can cost $2.79, which is $0.70 less than the regular price of $3.49.
Everyone loves homemade pumpkin pie, but other great recipes made with natural pumpkin include: pumpkin cookies, pumpkin cheesecake, pumpkin biscotti, pumpkin ice cream and pumpkin bread.
Chicken Broth
Swanson 100% Natural Chicken Broth in a 10.5-ounce can cost $0.99, which is an everyday low price at Big Lots.
Use chicken broth in recipes like homemade chicken noodle soup, chicken and dumplings, rotisserie chicken stroganoff, chicken pot pie, and an old favorite — chicken and rice.
