Pantry List Printable

Pantry List Printable by Tracy Benjamin of Shutterbean and The Handwriting Club

This year, my Pantry List Printable has played a big role in keeping me organized in my pantry.  When I am sitting down to write up my grocery list (next printable coming!), I do a pantry check to see if I need to replenish some of my pantry staples.  I know that when I have a well-stocked pantry, I can prolong the grocery shopping process (which I dread now) and McGyver my way into making some of our pantry meal favorites.

Having the prompt to look at my pantry also prevents me from having too much of one thing.  When I’m not organized to go grocery shopping, I can easily end up with a surplus of something that I didn’t need.  My autopilot brain is not always reliable.  How many cans of green chiles does one person need?

Pro-tip: If you’re a person who also forgets to bring their shopping list because you’re busy trying to find your reusable shopping bags, take a picture of your grocery list on your phone before you go. 

You could also be a person who lives life digitally and has a note (app?!) on your phone. If that is you, I commend you.  I imagine you live a life without paper piles. You’re winning at life in this digital age. Congratulations.  

Back to the new list. 

This is my working list of pantry staples. I’m sure I forgot to put something on there or spelled something wrong.  The good news is that I wrote it in pencil so I can adjust.

That reminds me… I lettered this 4 years ago. Time to redo that after all of my practice now.

 

Speaking of pencil, this is my current fave: Pilot Profile Mechanical Pencil .7mm

I like using it for UPPERCASE letters. If you’re into pens, here are my current faves.

My plan is to letter it all in Procreate and have a final version to put in my Home Ec Binder (which I am hoping to teach from)

Enjoying the fruits of my labor!

Sunflowers are associated with August and being a Leo and I didn’t like them much when I was younger. I was annoyed that my birth month flower was a sunflower. Now?  I LOVE THEM and want to grow even more next year.

Currently June 2022

We’re already in the swing of things in July. The holiday weekend delayed my monthly processing. How was June? Hmm. It started off really busy with end-of-school-year things and then we transitioned into SUMMER BREAK with a few baseball tournaments up in the mix.  This month I was inspired by summer fruits and vegetables so I painted a WATERMELON!

I started with a layer of colored pencil and then used watercolors to paint on top.
