I have just finished listing all the tins in the cupboard - which include such gems as ten tins of chopped tomatoes!
That is one small cupboard. I will put a total up when I get a chance. Now I need to assess eg packets, stock cubes, etc.
Also little bear helped and my arm survived though it is a bit sore now. It is going to be much better putting it all in a list and then knowing whether we need to add to the eight tins of tomato soup or not (really, I must have been away with the fairies).

So glad you're home and warm. I was a little worried when I saw the weather forecast.
I think the best way to organise your cupboards and stuff in your freezer is to use a method I learnt for maintaining stationery cupboards. Work out your basics for the store cupboard and how much you use of various items over a period of time. Then you set a level, or number of items, which when you reach it or drop below it your re-order the items in the amount you're going to use over the next month or two.
Say you use 10 tins of tomatoes over 2 months. You just stock up again and order more when you get down to 3.
Does this help?
Ian - I am definitely going with that idea. It is so much easier if you know where you are starting from. WS x
