Here are our pantry staples. They are based on what we buy frequently and use all the time. Pantry staples are different for every family. Don’t feel like you have to organize your pantries like mine or anyone else’s.
Dry and Canned Goods:
Instant potatoes - This is the most versatile product in our pantry. They can be used to thicken soups or in bread to give a moister bread.
Rice - We have rice at least twice a week. My daughter is part Mexican therefore we go through rice quickly.
Beans - Again, this is something we use a lot. I can them myself and we have them and we buy them commercially canned. When we can get them cheap enough organic we will. We also keep dehydrated beans.
Flour - During the winter I do a lot of baking. It helps to warm the house and get bread or whatever I need to put in the freezer for the summer. I mainly buy All-Purpose flour. I don’t really buy cake or bread flour.
Sugar - I keep a variety of sugars around. Powdered, brown, and regular sugar. I also keep Molasses and dark/light corn syrup.
Baking Powder - This is probably the only single task item I keep on hand.
Baking Soda - This is a baking workhorse. It helps in baking and deodorizing your home. Also cleaning.
Salt - I don’t buy iodized salt. It can’t be used in canning so there’s no point in wasting my money on it. I only buy salts that can be used in canning.
Pepper - I only buy black pepper.
Seasonings - I use a variety of seasonings.
Tomatoes - This is something we try to keep on hand in a variety of packaging.
Cereal - I have hit the motherload of cereal. We have enough to last two years. Also, we have cooking cereals like oatmeal, Farina, and Farro.
Milk - I have dried milk and shelf-stable milk. That you can get in the Cereal aisle of Kroger.
Freezer:
Veggies - We try to keep a variety of them around.
Fruit - Again we try to keep a variety around.
Meat - There are certain meats we keep in the freezer.
