Pantry Management
I am having some difficulty with the pantry feature of the
website. I love that I can tell it I already have salt, olive oil,
etc and it does not need to add these items to my list. However,
each week I currently look through my list and select items which I
already have and click 'don't need'. These items get added to my
pantry, which is fine. The next week I create my meal plan and go
to edit the shopping list. Now, there will be some things in my
pantry from last week that have expired or run out (eggs, milk,
salmon...). I understand that I could select each item and click
'need', but at this point I don't know what I need for each recipe
so I would have to manually go through my recipes to see what items
I still need that happened to be in my pantry.
I'm looking for a better flow and suggestions on how to use the pantry to avoid this problem. Also, is there a way to 'refresh' the shopping list? For instance if I delete all items from my pantry, then is there a way for the shopping list to regenerate and include any items that were previously excluded for being in the pantry? Thanks!

I just read another post on this issue. I agree adding an expiration date to items and allowing the shopping list reset would solve these problems. Thanks!
