It's the time of lockdown, which means our regular grocery runs will get reduced to least amounts. Which also means that you will have to stock up on items that are much needed in the house for daily use instead of buying packet foods and junk foods. More than stocking up on those chips, biscuits and cold drinks, there's a list of other food items that you should rather have on your grocery list so that you can make a variety of dishes with these foods. So the next time you make your monthly grocery run, make sure you have these items on your list as they are mostly quite important, healthy and contributes to a balanced diet.
