Trader Joe’s Pantry Staples

Last week I shared my pantry list, now I’m sharing what makes most of the list- My Trader Joe’s Pantry Staples. These are the things I repeat buy. You’ll never find my pantry without them! If you don’t have Trader Joe’s where you live, my apologies. There’s no Aldi near me and I also experience weird jealous feelings of not being able to find fun/inexpensive things to add to my life.

I think now more than ever, it’s important to think about the things we can keep in the house that will help prep us for the future and spread the budget. Going out to eat with a hungry/growing boy is so expensive and mostly not worth it these days. Through the past few years of pandemic time, we’ve definitely learned that knowing how to cook from your pantry is a MAJOR life skill.

Let’s break down my favorite Trader Joe’s Pantry Staples, shall we?

Pantry List Printable

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)

Here’s what I’ve accomplished so far:

Food Prep:

Time Management:

Hello, MONDAY!

I hope your Monday is off to a good start! It’s been hot here in the Bay Area and we’re trying to stay cool! Cooper has a baseball tournament this week so there’s so much to get done before that! I’m sitting down this morning with some coffee and mapping out my Intentions for the Week. Here they are!
