Sharpie pens - or a thick permanent marker to write on the bag. I also have an ongoing list of what is in each drawer - when something is removed & used it gets crossed off & when something goes in it gets added.2021 Decluttering Awards: ⭐⭐🥇🥇🥇🥇🥇🥇 2022 Decluttering Awards: 🥇

I store things in Tupperwares rather than bags and label them with masking tape. I have one drawer for the Tupperwares and boxes of things (e.g. veggie sausages, ice cream), one drawer of preps, and one drawer of bags of things (e.g. fruit, hash browns).Original mortgage free date: November 2044Current mortgage free date: November 2038Chipping away...5

For easy used, because prior to lockdown the pair of us often had different meal time schedules we had a bad of single use items Individually wrapped in clingfilm, ie one chop, one portion of sausages, one chicken breast in a separate bag. Then we could just grab a single portion of whatever in the morning to start defrosting for later.5

Hi, remember when all we had to worry about was a pandemic? With Brexit back in the news, I am reviewing my Brexit prep which was run down a bit during the lockdown. I was very pleased to have it on hand and it was a useful lesson on the need to prepare for the unexpected. Are there any items you will be buying more or less of as we move to the end of the transitional arrangments?

As a low carber, I need eggs, cheese, butter, oils, lard, meat, fish, poultry, game, sausages, bacon and veg not flour, pasta, bread, noodles or cereals. I've been putting butter and lard in the freezer.4

I've got a good stock of fats in the freezer, might be one of the things the shops run out of.

Neither are copious amounts of tinned tomatoey based products.I’ve gone for speciality grains, pulses, beans and oils from alternative sources.My freezer is well stocked with cheese – all XXX strong so a little bit will go along way 😃
One of my biggest fears is having to queue, especially in the cold weather. But then again, I can reassure myself that there isn’t much I can’t do without 😃5 -
Did you hear the speech from the PM today Ming/Mar? Probably time to change your username. I was drinking a brew and choked when he mentioned the Ming Vase when talking to the EU. Methinks he's writing his own speeches now rather like another head of state.I did a quick shop on Thursday wearing my Paddington hard stare face. Little coop and marks foodhall were fine but it was grab all you can in SBs and some hassle because they've gone back to rightly putting a limit on some items. I wonder what the shopppers there in spring did with all the trolley loads of stuff they were buying then. Perhaps they're planning to become black marketeers.pollyxIt is better to light a single candle than to curse the darkness.

Erm no, I didn't. Listening to Boris the Banana is somewhat low on my priority list6
