Rising prices and supply disruptions in 2026 have more people stocking up. Here are 13 foods to stockpile now, and why each one makes sense.

Most of us have been eating cheese the same way our whole lives without giving it a second thought. Melted on toast, pulled across pizza, bubbling under a grill – cooked cheese is comfort food in its most elemental form. The idea that how you eat your cheese could matter as much as whether you...
Most people know, deep down, that they’re not making frozen pizza correctly. The instructions are right there on the box, and yet every time the result is the same: pale, doughy crust on the bottom, cheese that’s gone weirdly rubbery in one spot and barely melted in another. You eat it anyway, because it’s Tuesday...
Most coffee in America gets consumed before it’s even tasted. You order it at a counter, your name gets called, and you’re out the door before the cup is cool enough to drink. The whole transaction takes three minutes if the line is short. For a lot of people, that works fine. For a growing...
Most of us can recall tossing a banana peel out a car window without a second thought. It’s just a peel. It’s organic. It came from the earth, so surely it goes back to the earth – right? That’s the story we tell ourselves, and it feels reasonable enough that very few people ever stop...
My freezer has always been optimistically half-stocked. There’s usually a bag of edamame from three months ago, some chicken thighs I froze with good intentions, and about four inches of dead air between everything. I never thought that empty space was the problem. I assumed a freezer just… froze things, regardless of how full or...
There’s a version of a road trip food stop most of us know too well – the kind where you pull off the highway desperate, grab something forgettable from a flickering gas station, and eat it in silence while staring at the steering wheel. But there’s another version of this story, the one that people...
There’s a particular kind of buyer’s remorse that only Costco can produce. It’s not the usual kind – the thing you regret buying. It’s the remorse you feel when you realize you’ve been walking past the same shelf for months and never picked up the item that would have quietly changed how you shop. You...
Picture yourself scrolling through the news on a Tuesday morning, coffee going cold beside you, when a headline catches your eye: the President of the United States has apparently told his doctor that Diet Coke kills cancer cells. Within hours, cable pundits are building entire segments around it. Social media is doing what it does....
The Delish food team recently completed one of the most thorough olive oil taste tests the outlet has ever run, sampling dozens of brands with expert guidance from Chef Maria Loi, a Greek-American TV personality and one of the most respected voices on Greek cuisine in the United States. The goal was straightforward: find the best olive...
A great steakhouse is never only about steak. The best ones get the whole night right, the room, the service, the cocktails, the sides, the wine list, and the feeling that dinner actually matters. Tasting Table’s state-by-state roundup leans into that bigger picture, choosing places that do more than just cook a ribeye well. Some...
This is a fair fight because both stores have built strong reputations around value. Costco has the famous Kirkland Signature rotisserie chicken, and Walmart sells its hot Freshness Guaranteed whole rotisserie chicken through the deli. On price alone, the two are very close right now. Costco’s same-day listing shows its rotisserie chicken at about $5.66,...
