Equipment
There is no doubt that the most used piece of equipment in my house is a sheet pan. I use them for roasting vegetables, baking, and transporting food to and from the grill.
I use a kitchen scale for everything. Weighing potatoes, fruit, baking, packaging meat, etc. If you don’t have one they are worth the extra space on your counter or in a cabinet. You will be surprised how often it comes in handy.

I do not include salt and pepper because I assume it is already in your pantry. If you have a fully stocked pantry there will be a savings of about $2.50.
