Today ABC's “The Chew” asked fans on their Facebook page what their must-have items are to to keep in the fridge, freezer and pantry.

Fans responded with different items they like to keep around. One Facebook fan said, “Boneless chicken, eggs ,butter, milk, cheese, ground beef for fridge, freezer.
