There were even items in my cupboard that I don\u2019t recall purchasing.<\/p>\n<p><em><strong>Next<\/strong><\/em>, I logged into my <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dinnertime.com\/content\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">DinnerTime <\/a>account and opened my <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dinnertime.com\/pantry\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Pantry\u00a0Manager<\/a>. It took no time at all to\u00a0add\u00a0everything to my pantry list. You&#8217;re able to add a lot of similar items by section all at once (click, click, click!), or add items one at a time. I was able to indicate which items were running low, which ones I wanted to use up soon, and even search to discover recipes for ingredients I didn&#8217;t know how to use!<img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"size-full wp-image-2477 alignright\" src=\"https:\/\/wp2.dinnertime.com\/content\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/05\/Screen-Shot-2018-05-08-at-12.20.05-PM.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"255\" height=\"298\" \/><\/p>\n<p><em><strong>Plus,<\/strong><\/em> I added the items I want to buy each time I go to the store, such as bananas, eggs and milk.

It also reminded me which items were &#8220;running low,&#8221; so to add them to the list if this was a good time to buy more.
