Pammy, get yourself a drop of white spirit or turps and wipe the "Best before" dates off everything before you put them in the cupboard.
This means you never have to worry about sorting the cupboard out and you'll never have to throw food away again.

Hi everyone

this reminds me of the time when our family stayed at my aunt's house (mum's older sister) many years ago. We found loads of tins in the cupboards that were out of date and bags of sugar and even butter in the fridge!!!
