We almost never eat out, I don’t generally use box mixes, most dry stuff from scratch. So I do a lot of bulk raw ingredients (which is cheaper).
I have a lazy susan by the range that has small containers of spices, sauces and liquids for use while cooking
I have a closet in the kitchen that holds snacks, bread, potatoes pasta cereal
Those two aren’t a given, but are also aren’t unusual in a single family home.
Then I have one that’s the size of a small walk-in closet a couple of rooms over that has jarred/canned goods, cake mixes (my one box mix exclusion), ramen, bulk dry goods. I only go grocery shopping once every couple of weeks. If something is cheaper in bulk and lasts, I’ll buy it in bulk.
If something goes south with the government or the next covid, we’re food secure for a couple of months.
I have what was a bedroom next to my kitchen. Tiled the floor and painted the walls the same as my kitchen, put a stand up freezer, nice white metal shelves along the walls, a coffee bar by the door, storage bench under the window, and snack table in the center of the room. Bulk sealed packages and less often used appliances in the closet. I can store so much food and ingredients, it’s probably my favorite room of the house. I often just sit on the bench and have a small snack for breakfast with my morning coffee in there.
More than I should, even for the US.
