What's on it

One page, ready to fill in.

  • A table with columns for item, qty, restock at, where and use by
  • Undated, so you can print or duplicate it as often as you need

Who it's for

Families who stock up, people building an emergency food supply, meal planners, and anyone who keeps buying a third jar of something they already had. Food bank volunteers and small community kitchens also use simple inventories like this one to keep track of donated stock and use-by dates.

How to use it

Getting the most from a pantry inventory.

  1. List the staples you always want

    Rice, pasta, tins, flour, oil, spices, breakfast foods. Start with what you'd be annoyed to run out of.

  2. Set restock levels

    Write the quantity at which you buy more, such as "2 tins". When stock hits it, add it to the grocery list.

  3. Note where things live

    Cupboard, pantry shelf, basement, garage. It helps everyone in the house find things and stops duplicate buying.

  4. Rotate by use-by

    Put new items at the back and write use-by dates for things you stock up on.

  5. Check it before shopping

    A two-minute check against the inventory keeps the grocery list complete.

  6. Keep a running restock list

    When an item hits its restock level, copy it to the grocery list straight away. The two pages work together so you never run out.
