Get a little fire extinguisher for the kitchen. use a daily shower cleaner and a magic eraser in the shower, clean it while you're in it, keep essentials like rice and potatoes and olive oil and chicken breasts (individually frozen) broccoli, on hand so you're not blowing money and your health on fast food. An air fryer is a fabulous thing!

Costco sells a fire extingisher that is really good for $35.

Find a friend who has a costco membership and shop with them once every month or two. Frozen single-serving meals are in wide varieties there and quite inexpensive.

Smart to go with a friend who already has the membership! OP, In a pinch, it's always good to keep an open box of baking soda handy to pour over for electrical fires, or grease fires, you can also smother it with a pan lid. NEVER use water.

Costco will sell you a huge bag of baking soda. $10 for 13 pounds.

You can use it for experiments on weeds you hate as it is quite hard on plant life. You can use it to put out fires. You can mix it with vinegar (also CHEAP at Costco). This is stuff you need, as much as Mentos and Diet Coke, also available at Costco.
