Now is a good time for a reminder to dig thru our stored stuff.
We tend to "put back for later" all sorts of things, esp food items. Having a separate chest freezer makes it easy. We label it before we freeze it so we don't have to guess what it is.
After a while, tho, we forget we had it. So, time to dig! We've found that many things we've put back will go together as a wonderful soup/stew. Perfect for coming in from those cold winter days.
Very frugal, too. Think about it: You've long since paid for it. So, when you dig it out to use it, it feels like a free meal! (Free for that day, anyways. You've already absorbed the costs from when you first purchased it.) A fun exercise is to keep track of your per meal prices. Dividing it a couple of more times helps bring those numbers way down.

Also, time to look in our pantry for any canned goods that have gotten shoved way to the back. How many different tomato products can one have? A lot!
Enjoy!
