object permanence issues so bad that I constantly forget when I have cans of soup or bags of pasta or jars of sauce on hand because those are all things that go in the pantry, which has a door on it

Got so bad I had to make a whiteboard list of things that are in it that I erase if they get used up

oh see that’s clever… I had tried keeping a note in my phone but it didn’t do me much good because I’d forget to check it

My mom did that. It works, but the visual clutter is its own problem. IMO, hang a kitschy sign on the pantry door that says pantry or food or something as a visible reminder to remember the food you got in there. By the time you stop perceiving the sign, the mental habit will have a better chance of sticking around.
