How to build (and restock) your baking pantry
- Start with the essentials, then add specialty items as you go.
- Buy ingredients you use often (like all-purpose flour and sugar) in larger quantities, to save money and to restock less.
- Buy smaller quantities of ingredients you use less often (like specialty flours or spices).
- Find a bulk grocery store to save even more money and cut down on packaging waste.
- Restock before busy baking seasons, such as the holidays.
- Check expiration dates every few months.
