Pantry Inventory List

Free printable pantry inventory list to enable you to check exactly what you have and what you need from anywhere!

A pantry inventory list helps you know exactly what you have or don’t have in your pantry. How many times have you discovered that you are out of butter in the middle of a recipe? How many times have you been at the supermarket trying to remember if you have any mayonnaise in the pantry? It used to happen to me all the time.

How to Make a Pantry Inventory List

Firstly, decide if you want to create a printable list that you will keep in your pantry (on the inside of the pantry door or wherever you prefer). Each time you take out an item you will need to update your food list, otherwise, it will not be relevant. When you bring your groceries home, you will need to mark the changes. You can also just update your list before you go shopping.

What format can the pantry checklist be download in?

The online list can be downloaded, printed, or sent to you by email. You can also go back to the list at any stage and make changes, and your list will be saved in your account.

The printable list can be printed or downloaded in pdf or as an image (jpg or png). If you download the pantry inventory list pdf, then make sure that your printer is set to print on one page.

Freezer Inventory

A freezer inventory is a great way to keep track of the frozen food in your freezer. It is also beneficial for kids or teenagers who want to heat a meal and couldn’t be bothered to check what you have in the freezer. This way, they know exactly what their options are. They can take out a meal and mark it off the list so that you also know how many prepared meals are left in the freezer.

I like to freeze ready-made meals for my kids because I know that they are too lazy to cook their own food and would rather eat junk food if there are no ready-made meals for them. Since I have no time to cook every day, freezing meals is a great option. The problem is that it is hard to know what is available when the freezer is packed.

Emergency Food Pantry List

If you keep a stock of food for emergencies and your memory is as bad as mine, then you should keep an emergency food pantry list else you will probably not remember when you need to replace items that have expired. Mark each item, how many units of each item you have, how many you should have, and the expiry date for each item. If you are using the Excel food list then save a new copy for emergency food only.
