To eliminate some of the gray area in terms of what pantry items to provide, we’ve outlined some basic necessities for stocking your kitchen.  It never hurts to go the extra mile, so we’ve also included some “extras” to add to your guests’ convenience during their stay.

Coffee: A starter pack of coffee (regular and decaffeinated) will be greatly appreciated by most guests, especially those arriving late at night and won’t have time to get to a store before their morning cup of joe. You don’t necessarily have to keep the coffee canister full as long as you provide enough for the first morning. Coffee filters, on the other hand, last virtually forever and are very inexpensive.

Other beverages: For the non-coffee drinkers, a selection of teas and hot chocolate could be greatly appreciated. You might also want to stock some powdered drink mixes, like lemonade or fruit punch, and pitchers for your guests to use. Plastic water bottles are also helpful.

Cooking Supplies: Some guests will cook every meal, and others won’t even touch your oven. Either way, we encourage you to stock basic spices like salt, pepper, garlic powder and Italian seasoning. Ground spices typically last 2-3 years, so you shouldn’t have to replace them too often. Additionally, consider supplying other cooking essentials like butter or margarine, oil, vinegar and cooking spray.

Baking Supplies: For guests that plan to celebrate an occasion or simply whip up a layer cake for the fun of it, consider the baking necessities like Crisco, baking soda, baking powder, yeast, vanilla extract, honey, sugar, cinnamon and flour. You can also throw in some cupcake liners for those guests that prefer handheld treats.

Condiments: Ketchup, mustard and barbecue sauce are just a few of those items that your guests usually need but will only use only in small amounts. These condiments are available in large quantities at discount wholesale stores, or you could try to purchase small packets of each, similar to what fast food chains provide. Some homeowners also provide jellies, jams, soy sauce, Tabasco sauce and Worcestershire sauce, since these are typically harder to find in smaller sizes.

Snacks: When it comes to actual food, some owners like to up the ante. Although not required, providing snacks like microwave popcorn or bags of chips can be greatly appreciated by your guests. You can even offer your guests their first morning’s breakfast by providing pancake mix and syrup. And while frozen items may not actually go in your pantry, you could easily stock frozen juice for breakfast and ice pops for an easy snack.

In general, the more items and services you provide for your guests, the more they will appreciate both your home and your efforts. Although pantry items may seem pretty inconsequential, providing a stocked pantry will improve your guests’ experience and could result in an increased likelihood of your guests returning.
