I like having a decent pantry, too - but I have to fight my hoarding tendencies. It's just hubby and I, and we both eat at work during the week. There's no need for me to have a virtual grocery store in my kitchen, which is already tiny. When we moved in here, I set myself a limit of ONE cabinet.

That said: I try to replace my staples before I run out. It's nice to be able to throw together a decent meal when you can't/don't want to leave the house, lose electricity, etc.

Goal for the near future is to eat the canned crab (make crab cakes), and get going on that jar of jalapenos. I'm not a fan of pickled jalapenos, but I'll figure out some way to use them up, even if just on pork rind nachos. I don't know why I bought them; I can buy fresh jalapenos any time and/or chop and freeze them for cooking.
