Every year around this time I start to get ready for holiday baking. I get for cookie swaps, hosting dinners, and maybe a girls night out or two. I love to be prepared. Nothing is worse than getting ready to make cookies and finding out that you don’t have _______. So, of course I always make sure to stock up on the must haves when it comes to baking supplies.
I spend the next few weeks scoping out deals in our local Whole Foods, Trader Joes, and other grocery stores. That way I can stock up when the price is right!
Here’s what I always make sure I have on hand:

That’s my strategy too! I hate being forced to buy something when it’s not on sale!
I totally agree! Most of these baking products last a super long time too!
