One of my goals for this year is to take more advantage of seasonal deals and produce. With that in mind, I've been building a seasonal stockup list. This is my list for November.

I like to experiment in the kitchen and cook from scratch, so this will be a very ingredient heavy list.

Food:

Pie crusts/shells: They freeze well. I use them for Finnish pasties mostly.

Canned pumpkin: Good in pancakes and waffles. I use equal parts pumpkin and pancake mix, then add water until it looks right.

Candied pecans: Good in trail mix and baked goods.

Canned/frozen veggies: Peas and green beans can be very cheap.

Cream of mushroom/chicken soups: I buy about a dozen of each every Thanksgiving.

Evaporated milk: Useful for baking or for making homemade cream of X soups. I prefer to make this from scratch, but don't always have the energy.

Boxed stuffing: This is one of those thing I could make from scratch, but can't be arsed.

Fresh cranberries: Homemade cranberry juice is easy. Boil some cranberries in water.…
