Winter is here, with its cold, blustery days and cozy-by-the-fire nights. Those cold nights call for some hearty suppers, so you’ll want to stock up on pantry staples — without breaking the budget.

Check the local Target store for these pantry staples to keep on hand to provide energy to start the day off right or to make warm, satisfying suppers after a long winter day.

Oatmeal

• Price: $2.69

Good and Gather organic instant oatmeal comes in handy for those quick, hot breakfasts before school or work. Whether plain or in a flavor like maple brown sugar, apple cinnamon, or banana and strawberry, this instant oatmeal is hard to beat. 

Granola

• Price: $4.49

Good and Gather granola comes in flavors for the whole family, like this French vanilla almond granola. Target also has a variety of other flavors too, like banana nut, double chocolate chunk and cinnamon.

Serve this granola as a snack straight from the bag or as cereal in a bowl with cold milk. Another option is to warm up some milk, pour it over the granola and let it stand 30 seconds to one minute for a softer version of this sweet and crunchy cereal.

Beans

• Price: $1.19

For a quick homemade chili, combine Good and Gather organic chili beans and chili-ready diced tomatoes with already cooked ground beef. Add seasonings and toppings like cheese, onion or crackers to complete the chili. 

Canned Tomatoes

• Price: $0.99

These chili-ready diced tomatoes are great for adding to chili but also to put on top of nachos or blend with mayo or sour cream to make a creamy tomato spread for sandwiches.

Onions

• Price: $2.99

Roast these yellow onions with another pantry staple — potatoes. Add your favorite seasonings before roasting for something the whole family will love. Serve it with meat and a green vegetable of your choice.

Potatoes

• Price: $3.99

Potatoes provide plenty of options for hearty winter meals. Spoon homemade chili over baked potatoes and top with cheese for a crowd-pleasing meal. Make fried potatoes and onions for a tasty side dish to pair with meatloaf.

Chicken Broth

• Price: $2.19

Use Good and Gather chicken broth and other pantry staples, such as noodles, white chunk chicken, sliced carrots and green beans, to make a great chicken noodle soup. Add seasonings and serve with crackers or a favorite sandwich for a filling weeknight supper.
