And I always keep a pack of fresh bay leaves in the fridge. Most fruits and veggies I buy at the farmer's market as things come into season, so what I have on hand varies. I have a lot more than what's listed here in my cupboards, but I bake a lot and have a whole cupboard just for baking stuff, which is another kettle of fish entirely.
Oh, and if you're looking to save money, buy in bulk when possible.
