Make sure your pantry is stocked before that big snow storm hits. This list has the essentials so you don't panic-buy things you don't need.

When you need to make a meal or feel like getting yourself a snack but you’re not sure exactly what you want, you could simply go to your pantry or open your fridge to see what’s there.

That’s where a thoughtfully stocked pantry steps in to save the day ... These aspirations should shape what you stock up on. Write them down and use them as your north star.
