Food and other items are going fast at the pantry this winter. I've made four trips out there since January 15 and each time the shelves are bare except for six cans of vegetables that don't have pop top lids. Linda and I have restocked each time with large cans of dinner-sized meat and vegetable canned soups (with pop top lids), jars of peanut butter and jelly, loaves of bread, taco shells, toothpaste and brushes, feminine products, packages of sugar, salt, pepper and cinnamon, individual packages of oatmeal, boxes of cereal, dish soap, individual packages of honeybuns and peanut butter crackers. They are gone in two days. I expect to make two more trips in January.
It's quite a change from the fall when the micropantry didn't appear to be as heavily used. I wanted to alert everyone stocking the pantry that they should plan on more frequent visits and note what items are in demand.
