I recently found out that my grandkids are not the only ones who are interested in my pantry. So I took a few minutes to check it out and then went back to a “Basic Staples” list I made for my girls way back. A few things have been added, but all in all, it is still okay, and maybe something I can share. I don’t stock up with cases full of everything, but it is good to remember that dry goods can be purchased when they are on sale, and I'm glad to find them in my pantry when I need them.Dry / Canned Goods

What a cutie in your pantry!!
Tehya would take up a bit more space now in that pantry!
What? No "grandchild" on the list?
What good is a pantry without a grandchild perched within?
It all looks quite familiar. I always expect that I have 'more' in the pantry...but still come up empty-handed once in awhile.
Pantry staples..I usually am well stocked in fact so well that my daughter says it's like shopping in a grocery store:)
my kids like to browse my pantry and often relieve me of the clutter. Are we not so blessed to have pantrys?
Your pantry protector is darling.
I have a good stock too. Sometimes i do a good going through making sure things don't get forgotten about and expire. It's those stale bags of open chips that bug me. Funny how we can have so much and still scratch our heads wondering what there is to make or eat. Kathy
Love a well stocked, well organized pantry! Cute pantry princess you have there!
