The aisle 2 sign at Irricana Family Foods listing condiments, baking ingredients, sugar, flour and spices.

Aisles 2, 3 & 4

Pantry staples, aisles 2 to 4

The middle three aisles are the ones you restock rather than shop. Flour, sugar, oil, vinegar and spices in aisle 2; cereal, coffee, peanut butter and juice in aisle 3; soup, pasta, rice and the canned wall in aisle 4. Between them they hold the things that mean you can cook something without going out.

Aisle 2 — baking, condiments and wrap

The right-hand side is the baking side: sugar, flour, spices and salt, baking ingredients, canned milk and canned fruit. The left is condiments — salad dressing, ketchup and mustard, barbecue sauce, pickles and olives, oil, vinegar and gravy mix.

Food wrap, foil, parchment and Ziploc bags are on the same side, which is a slightly odd neighbour for salad dressing but exactly where you'd want them when you're already thinking about leftovers.

Aisle 3 — breakfast and hot drinks

Cereal, hot cereal, oat milk, granola bars and pudding run down one side; pancake mix, honey, peanut butter, jam, juice and drink crystals down the other. Coffee, tea and hot chocolate are at the end.

Aisle 4 — soup, pasta and the canned wall

Soup and crackers start the aisle, then canned meat and seafood, canned vegetables and canned beans. Facing them: pasta and sauce, coating mixes and boxed side dishes, and the Mexican and Asian shelf with rice, taco kits and salsa.

This is the aisle to raid before a storm, a long weekend or a week where the schedule has gone sideways.
