Whenever you CAN , do things you can ' t always do . If you ' re having a good day and have ten minutes or half an hour chop up a bunch of veggies that can be thrown into a pot of boiling water for a soup or stew . Put them in the freezer for when you need them . The best ones to have on hand are carrots , onions , celery , leeks , and tomatoes . That ' s a soup right there and a hearty one when you add some beans and lettuce . Portion tomato paste into tablespoon servings and wrap in saran wrap or put in baggies in the freezer . Then you don ' t have to open a can later and can just throw it in . If you have the strength and time get your groceries then especially the heavy things cans , bags of ricefloursugar .
