Okay, confession time — I am that person who calls home mid-grocery trip asking, “Do we have sugar-free instant vanilla pudding?” 🙈 Every. Single. Time.
Enter the Pantry Check app — my potential new sanity-saver. This clever little app lets you scan everything in your pantry, so you always know what’s on hand. No more guessing, no more duplicate pudding boxes.
Here’s the cool part: you can make a grocery list right in the app by searching for what you need. Pantry Check then auto-generates options with product images and estimated prices (because who doesn’t love knowing what you’re about to spend before checkout?). 💸
The free version allows you to store up to 200 items, which feels quite generous. As you use things, you just delete them from your virtual pantry — that’s the part I’m nervous about. 😅 Will I actually remember to remove them? TBD.
But hey, I’m giving it a try! If this app keeps me from buying my fifth jar of peanut butter, it’s already a win. I’ll keep you posted on how it goes. 📱✨
Update 10/21/25
So far, I’ve been keeping my pantry up to date! Hooray, hurrah! It takes less than a minute to click the items I’ve used and remove them. It’s also been easy to scan new items before I place them on the shelf. This app is a keeper.
