My Favorite Pantry Staples!

I’ve used the term “Pantry Staples” a lot recently, and some of you may not know what that means.

Pantry staples are food items that most people have in their cupboards all the time. They are commonly known as “ingredients”.

Here are the 25 pantry staples that we always have on hand, and below them, you will find links to recipes containing these staples.

I’ve linked to these items on Amazon, which is where I buy a lot of our pantry staples, especially if there is no local deal. I do surveys and research studies to earn Amazon Gift Cards that I use to purchase items.

My Amazon List of Hewes Family Pantry Staples

  1. All-Purpose Flour
  2. Rolled Oats
  3. Baking Powder
  4. Baking Soda
  5. Kosher Salt
  6. Baking Cocoa Powder
  7. Crisco Shortening
  8. Coconut Oil
  9. Grapeseed Oil
  10. Chocolate Chips
  11. White Sugar
  12. Brown Sugar
  13. Powdered Buttermilk
  14. Jasmine Rice and/or Brown Rice

Scout by Warby Parker $5 Contact Lens Trial!

Abby H.1 Comment

We love Warby Parker– They have great deals on glasses that are very sturdy and can withstand roughhousing with kids (ask me how I know!).

I just found out about Scout– their contact lens line. Scout is a comfortable, breathable, and affordable daily contact lens—made from a super-moist material that resists drying for lasting hydration and comfort.

Order a 6-day trial pack for only $5—and then receive a $5 promo code that can be applied toward your next eyeglasses, sunglasses, contacts, or accessories order.

If you wear glasses. you should check out this freebie deal for free eyeglass cleaner and a microfiber cloth.
