What are the staple foods in your pantry? I've never bothered filling one before, but I need a source of cheap meals if required.
Patsa, Pasata, Beans, Rice, Canned Fish, Frozen Veg, eggs, herbs/seasoning. You can make a ton of stuff from just those items. Get as MUCH as you can from Aldi too. The aldi pasta is god tier when compared to Woolies home brand. I'd probably just skip aldi's tuna.
Another good option is NEVER cook a meal for 1 meal. Batch cook. Make some soup or bolognese and freeze multiple serves from it, a big batch of chicken stroganoff reheats super well. Our Freezer has got like 10-20 meals ready to go at any point.
