I was counting the types of noodles, rice and other grains that we always have on hand at home and landed at: 5 types each is a good number.
@skinnylatte I also love having this level of variety at home but it means that having a legit pantry is an absolute requirement for a place to live.
@LeafyEricScott I’m married to an excellent space hacker so even when we had a 300sq ft studio it felt like we had a magical pantry!
