My main concern in planning my diet is **waste**.

In my pantry I keep perishable items that I use habitually
(like ingredients for granola and tuna salad).
These are never at risk of spoilage
and would not be even if their _place_ was inconspicuous and inaccessible
because their regular use is necessitated by my habit.
These should still be placed for convenience
since I am liable to misplace them when returning them all in a hurry.

I frequently buy ingredients in bulk for value.
A backup tub of mayo may be placed inconveniently
since I'll only ever need to get to it once,
but it must be conspicuous else I may forget it
and mistakenly buy more after finishing the first.

Often I will buy ingredients that I have little experience with
without a strong idea of what specifically I want to use them for,
except the promise of a more rounded or interesting diet.
These must be the most conspicuous and most accessible items in the pantry
otherwise I'm likely to forget them until they spoil.
