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.

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).

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.

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?

Not really, my stock is rolled up in the Covid items now [still isolating] which with today's CV news of increasing numbers maybe it'll all mix in anyway
