Baking Supplies: If you bake often, consider buying your baking items in bulk to save money. Invest in air-tight containers for these items too. Baking supplies include flour, sugar, brown sugar, powdered sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and yeast.
Spices and Herbs: Stock up on your favorite spices for fall and holiday baking including cinnamon, nutmeg, allspice, cloves, sage, and rosemary.
