What can you not run out of?

Mine is baked beans and peanut butter! We also seem to have a hundred tins of chopped tomatoes and chickpeas!

Obvs wouldn't panic if we ran out of any of those 🤣🤣 but that's what I tend to keep stocked and buy a new one of when the existing one is running low/ gone.

What do you do with the chickpeas recipe wise? Never tried them.

I mix them up with cous cous to fill out a salad. Or I just roast them with a bit of oil and salt.

Tbh i don’t use them much, which means there’s loads in the cupboard 🤣
