Smart Pantry Planning: 5 Common Mistakes to Avoid ❌

A well-planned pantry saves time, money, and reduces food waste — something we care deeply about at Pantrist. But many households make the same avoidable mistakes. Here's how to organize your pantry smartly and sustainably!

1. No overview of your inventory 👀

Without a clear inventory, you might buy duplicates or forget what you already have. Pantrist lets you track everything in your pantry — including best-before dates and storage locations!

2. Buying too much at once

Bulk shopping can be useful, but buying too much risks spoilage. Set minimum and maximum quantities in Pantrist to stay flexible and avoid waste.

3. Forgetting seasonal foods 🥦

Seasonal pantry planning saves money and helps the planet. In June, fresh peas, spinach, zucchini, and berries are in season — perfect for freezing or preserving!

4. Ignoring best-before dates

Use it or lose it! With Pantrist, you can track multiple best-before dates per item and get reminders for products that are about to expire.

5. Not using shared lists 👥

Sharing your home? It's key to keep everyone on the same page. Pantrist makes it easy to share and sync pantry or shopping lists in real-time!


💡 Sustainable tip: Long-lasting items like legumes, oats, nuts, or canned tomatoes are not only pantry heroes but also vegan — great for a climate-friendly kitchen.
