ESSENTIAL PANTRY LIST

Tip 1

Buy only what you can store on your selves without cluttering your pantry.

Tip 2

Purchase some stackable storage containers to maximize your pantry shelving and keep food fresh.

Tip 3

When you use up a pantry item, write it on your shopping list right away so you remember to replace it.

Tip 4

When you open something that needs to be refrigerated put the date that you opened it with a 'Sharpie' pen so that you know when to throw it out if you haven't used it in time.

Tip 5

On your calendar put a reminder every 6 months to purge your herbs and spices and check expiration dates on other pantry items - when the clocks change would be a good time.

Tip 6

When using products like baking soda and baking powder, write the date you open the package and then use before the expiration date.
