Here is a printable version of your First Vegan Pantry.
Scroll to the bottom to find links to purchase many of the non-perishable items on Amazon and/or links to the brand homepages so you can at least know what you’re looking for in the perishable sections of grocery stores. I tend to select organic products and some of the products are more expensive on Amazon but you can at least get a sense of what you’re looking for.
