- “Family size” canned beans, soups and vegetables, especially with low sodium;
- Liquid laundry detergent, dish soap, bleach or vinegar in sealed plastic jugs or containers with a handle (quarts, half gallons, gallons or larger);
- Canned fruit, especially with low or no added sugar;
- Canned fish, especially multipacks of tuna (heavier for weight lifting) and salmon;
- Canned meats, especially chicken, ham or Spam;
- Canned “meals,” such as beef stew, chicken and dumplings, chili;
- Peanut butter in plastic jars;
- Boxed milks (almond, soy, lactose-free, oat, etc.) or soups in aseptic box containers;
