Free Printable Pantry Inventory For A Well-Organized Kitchen

Keeping track of pantry items can sometimes feel like a daunting task, especially when you're juggling a busy schedule.

How many times have you bought an extra jar of taco sauce, only to find three more hidden in the back of the pantry?

Or perhaps you've let food go to waste because you forgot about it until after the expiration date.

If these scenarios sound all too familiar, my new printable pantry inventory is here to help!

This handy one-page printable comes in two options to suit your needs:

The first option features a single column, perfect for those who prefer a straightforward approach.
The second option includes two columns, allowing you to list more items on one page.

Both versions provide enough space to record the items you have on hand, their quantities, and their use-by dates.

How to Use Your Pantry Inventory

From initial setup to regular updates, here are a few tips and tricks to make pantry management a breeze. Follow these steps to make the most of this printable.

✨ Choose Your Format

Start by deciding which version of the printable works best for you: the single-column or the two-column format.

If you have a smaller pantry or prefer a simpler layout, the single-column option might be your best bet. If you have a lot of items to track and want to fit more on one page, go with the two-column option.

Print out a few copies of your chosen format to get started.

✨ Take Stock of Your Pantry

Before you can fill in your inventory, you need to know what you have. Take everything out of your pantry and group similar items together. Check the use-by dates and discard any expired products.

As you go through each item, list them on your printable inventory. Make sure to record the item name, quantity, and the use-by date.

This will give you a clear overview of what you have and what you need to use up soon.

✨ Organize Your Pantry

With your inventory list in hand, start organizing your pantry. Place items you use frequently in easy-to-reach spots, and group similar items together.

For example, keep all your baking supplies on one shelf and your canned goods on another. This way, you'll know exactly where to look when you need something, and it will be easier to update your inventory.

✨ Update Your Inventory Regularly

The key to maintaining an effective pantry inventory is regular updates. Each time you add new items to your pantry, make sure to record them on your inventory sheet. Similarly, when you use something up, cross it off the list or adjust the quantity.

Set a reminder to review your inventory once a month to ensure it stays accurate and up-to-date.

✨ Make It a Habit

Incorporate using the pantry inventory into your routine. Before heading to the grocery store, check your inventory to see what you need to restock.

This will help you avoid buying duplicates and ensure you're using up items before they expire.

Having an organized pantry not only saves you time and money but also reduces food waste. By following these steps, you'll transform your pantry into a well-organized and efficient space. No more hunting for ingredients or discovering expired food at the back of the shelf.

With your printable pantry inventory, you'll always know exactly what you have on hand and what you need to buy.

SUPPLIES I RECOMMEND FOR PRINTING

A PRINTER

If you’re going to be printing in color, I really recommend investing in an HP Instant Ink-compatible printer. The quality of the finished product is amazing! If you don’t need a color printer, I highly recommend a laser printer like the Brother L23 Series. You will save hundreds on ink. You can also get a color laser printer which I would LOVE to have!

PAPER

For everyday printables, planners, and coloring pages for the kiddos I normally use Hammermill Printer Paper, 20 Lb. I love that you can get a small box of 3 reams instead of having to buy one at a time or a whole case of 10.

If I want something a little nicer, I use this laser paper which is incredibly smooth and has very little to no ghosting on the other side. This is perfect if you like to use pens/markers that are prone to bleeding through to the other side.

For printing on A5 paper, I use this Blank 6-Hole Punched A5 Paper. You can also get it without the holes but it’s $6-7 more. Which I think is odd because it’s usually the other way around and you have to pay more for the hole punching.

If you're printing a binder cover that is fade-resistant and lasts a long time, I would recommend the best paper using Epson Presentation paper. It's heavy like cardstock (48 lb), is great when laminated, and is made to last for decades.
