I have a huge pantry, way more than 10 things I keep on hand at all times and go through fairly often. My guess of the 10 most-frequently used items in my pantry, or at least the first that come to mind (although even that is fairly seasonal/dependent on my food preferences at the time):

these three I go through insane amounts of, often used together:

-olive oil
-balsamic vinager
-canned chickpeas (and a few other bean varieties)

7 more:

-canned spaghetti sauce/crushed tomatoes
-dry pasta
-oatmeal (steel cut when I have time, instant otherwise, plus rolled oats for cookies)
-soy sauce
-rice noodles
-canned tuna
-honey (mostly for tea)

Olive oil. ~ I had three bottles at one point

Tea bags. ~ I am an epic tea drinker.

English muffins ~ preferably sourdough or whole wheat

White vinegar ~ for making poached eggs, and cleaning my glasses

Hot sauce ~ because it's super handy

Rosemary ~ oh the things you can do with rosemary

Fines herbs ~ great on eggs

Almond butter ~ because you never know when you're going to have to eat it

Various Asian noodle thingies ~ I like to go above and beyond Top Ramen, because that's what living in Southern California is all about

Nutella?

Oh man, I can't keep that stuff around. I learned recently that anytime I buy a container of it, I'm like a moth to a flame, and pretty soon I'm eating the entire thing straight out of the container.
