through. Same with soy protein - we're not huge fans, but, it's handy, and I just add it to meats and soups.

Laundry detergent
Toothpaste/toothbrushes
Mouthwash (a personal preference to have it around)
Deoderant
Soap
Cooking wines
Cooking juice (lemon/lime/and apple)
Granola bars

Other spices/condiments

I do stock up on meats when they're on sale, but we only have an over the fridge freezer, and it's filled with veggies from the summer, and (right now) our stores "almost organic" brand of whole chickens, chicken drums, chicken breasts, ground beef, and stew meat...all on sale.
I also have a pretty darn comprehensive First Aid kid packed into a large backpack. And I keep some cash on hand.
I'm sure there's more, but that's what came to mind.
