I obsessively hoard tinned food so I never run out of the essentials – tinned chickpeas (when I don’t have the patience to buy them dried), kidney beans, butter beans, sweetcorn, chopped tomatoes, baked beans, condensed milk.
In Sainsbury’s in Belfast recently I noticed they do whole meals in a tin. I was foolish enough to purchase tortellini. Am still afraid to open it. Can never have enough tins of tuna or tomatoes though!
In juice, not syrup- tinned fruit in syrup = disgusting and calorific. This way you can always get some of your five-a-day, and mixed with some yogurt, cream, meringue or ice-crem, you have an instant delicious dessert!
About 50% of my Aldi purchases are kidney beans – a 1/4 of the price of what you get in Dunnes. I usually buy about 10 at a time. Apart from that I always have baked beans, chick peas, tomatoes and right now I have butter beans because Aldi had them last week!

When Aldi or Lidl have coconut milk on offer, I usually buy a tray or two of tins and stock them on the selves.
I also have tuna (in brine and sunflower oil), red kidney beans, creamed sweetcorn (for making chicken and sweetcorn soup), tomatoes and mushy peas.
