Stocking Your Pantry
Pantry stocking reflects eating patterns of the household. An important benefit of having your pantry inventory reflect your eating habits is that everything gets periodically rotated. In this case nothing gets so old as to lose its nutritional value.

- beans (dried and canned),
- rice,
- cereal,
- flour,
- cornmeal,
- crackers,
- sugar (including molasses and honey),
- jam,
- pickles,
- pasta,
- tomato paste,
- soups (a big variety),
- flavourings and spices (to keep things from getting monotonous),
- canned fruit and vegetables (homegrown and store bought),
- meats (canned fish, home canned chicken, etc.),
- dried vegetables (home-dried or purchased from a camping supply store),
- nuts and dried fruit,
- oil and vinegar.
Stocking Your Pantry With Drinks
