How many food cupboards do you have in your kitchen?

[BarryWhiteIsMyBrother]

We have a fairly big kitchen. However most of the cupboards are taken up with pots, pans, crockery, etc. We only have three cupboards plus our fridge, for food. We then have more in the utility room for 'stock' so we don't have to go out every couple of days. Half of one cupboard is taken up by different types of teas and drink-making stuff. The 'main' cupboard is always a nightmare because stuff is crammed there and you need to be careful not to let anything fall out when you move something. It's maddening. How does everyone else organise their kitchen storage? There are two of us here three nights a week - the rest of the time it is just one person. Posting because of a mix of frustration and curiosity.

One double cupboard for the main food, packets, rice, pasta, tins etc, then a single cupboard for tea/coffee/baking supplies and one of those narrow half cupboards for spices, sauces and gravy.

1. But I'm only really using 2.

Glasses, plates, bowls - one cupboard.
Tins, biscuits, tea coffee - one cupboard.
Cleaning stuff - under the sink
One drawer - cutlery
One drawer - spices
One drawer - foil, clingfilm, freezer bags
One drawer- lightbulbs, batteries, random shit
Bowls + stuff for food processor - one cupboard
Pots and pans - one cupboard made of pan drawers
Baking stuff - one cupboard

Thats it. Couple of other Le Creuset bits go on shelves. Leaves me with 3 food cupboards and the baking stuff cupboard is massive and half empty.

Absolute winner is that all my saucepans/frying pans don't have handles so stack in each other in one pan drawer. Take up no space at all.

Can I ask how many of you are in the house and how often you go shopping? And how on earth do you store spaghetti???? Currently the packs lie flat on the shelf in the cupboard but everything on top of them slides around...

7?
Fears it could be more than most!
Oils and sauces, pasta, biscuits, breakfast cereals, tins, crisps, bread/waffles/part baked french sticks, rice....

2 people in the house, shopping once a week.

Spaghetti - in the packet, on top of everything else.

Loads. One for cereal, one for biscuits, one for sauces, one for crisps/snacks, one for tins/jars, one for vegetables, one for sweets, one for pop, one for tea/coffee/bottled water.

We keep rice, spaghetti and pasta in these jars on the worktop.

1 corner cupboard for tins, pasta, store cupboard food really.

1 double base unit for baking ingredients, cereal, bread/bagels etc, crisps and treats.

1 single wall cupboard for herbs and spices, baking flavouring and food colouring.

Top shelf of one single wall cupboard for extra teas, coffee, hot choc, sweetener / sugar.

Half one bottom cupboard for fruit not in the fruit bowl and veg. The squash is at the front of the cupboard above too.

3 double cupboards ,1 tall larder cupboard , a drawer ( for biscuits) , a large bread drawer and the fridge . 3 adults here ft ( one is coeliac hence needing larger space for bread products ) . We do an online shop and my dsis gets me some bits in M&S .

I'd also add - we are v foodie, rarely have the same recipe twice so I shop my cupboards.

Result is I do have variety of dry things stored but not loads of brands/tins/jars/sauces and I don't need lots of things in the cupboard as I keep using them up.

One Tal cupboard, with 7 shelves, for food. Shop once a week for four people. Food in the cupboard would last longer though.

The majority of stuff that gets used is in the fridge... Veg, meat, dairy etc.

One tea cupboard, one treat cupboard and a big walk in larder. Family of 4, shop weekly.

I don’t know where I would put stuff without the larder.

4 of us, all adult sized and despite a big kitchen, cupboard space is lacking. One useless double cupboard for snacks, drinks, open packets of pasta, rice, lentils, spuds etc. 2 tiny wall cupboards packed with baking ingredients, spices, seasonings and condiments and a couple of shelves for tea, coffee, cereal. One of the shelves was a cupboard but the hinge broke.

Ended up buying a git big freestanding larder cupboard.

We’re two adults, DSD eow, toddler and a newborn.
We shop weekly.
I just lie spaghetti down.

Not enough. I have three food cupboards and a couple of freezers and my kitchen table is nearly collapsing with the weight of a huge box full of canned food, rice and oats etc.
As teens our mother didn't really do any shopping. She wasn't hungry as she'd snack at work and smoke cigarettes so that meant she didn't see the need to get food in every day. Cupboards had maybe an old tin of pilchards, a container of years old flour, veg oil, teabags, Atora suet and half a pack of spaghetti and nothing at all in the fridge that was edible or in date. Other times there was plenty. Now I have a fear of not being able to feed my kids so I need to overstock and be a doomsday level prepper with staples.

We have a big larder cupboard under the stairs. Five deep shelves.

We have a pantry. Sound poncy and wanky but it’s a standard 3 bed semi but old. The pantry is the size of a downstairs toilet (which I wish it was but it’s rented so not ours to change)
So pantry has shelves etc and has all the pasta rice etc etc in jars, cereal, tins, crisps, veg rack, chocolate, etc. Also has things like slow cooker, picnic stuff etc.
In the kitchen we have 1 cupboard of spices/sauces etc. 1/2 a cupboard with tea/assorted coffee/hot choc/marshmallow etc and 1 cupboard of baking stuff

Larder cupboard. 5 shelves. Is 120 wide I think. It's like a wardrobe of food 😂

One pull out cupboard in the corner...

But we do have a pantry which has 6m of shelving and 3x cupboard underneath it. So that's where most of our food goes.

1 tall larder cupboard and 1 smaller/half length cupboard and 1 very small sauce cupboard.

But we also have a fridge freezer and two more freezers in the garage (we have an allotment so lots of fruit and veg to freeze around harvest time) and a large set of garage shelving to accomodate tins, bottles, can etc.

Could still do with another cupboard or two

None, simply not enough space. I have two half cupboard at the top and two at the bottom and one full sized single cupboard under the sink.

I have a separate "pantry" type cupboard where the top half is dedicated to pots and pans the the bottom shelf is dry goods and staples. The rest is in the fridge freezer.

I had to cull loads of stuff when i moved. The only thing i really miss is my spiralizer.

I should add my "pantry" is in my living room

One standard size cupboard with two drawers (and the cutlery drawer above that). It's not enough... The bread bin is on the countertop. We plan on buying our own house in the next two years and a big kitchen is a must!

Same as Brie- we have a pantry. In it is a dryer, a fridge freezer, a chest freezer and loads of shelving. I have a slight obsession with buying kitchen/food stuff so have everything under the sun in there.

In my actual kitchen, one double cupboard and a bread bin. Double cupboard is full to the brim but organised within an inch of its life. I couldn’t cope without my pantry.
My kitchen is pretty small and badly designed.

We are a family of 4. 2 adults and a 17yr old ds and a 9yr old dd. We never run out of anything and it’s probably the only area in my life where I’m so organised ( I have ADHD)

One 30cm wide one. In that I keep all the bread, rolls, bagels etc. There is a fruit bowl on the work surface, and the coffee/tea/hot chocolate live in with the mugs.

Everything else is in the fridge, freezer or the pantry. Our pantry works really hard - I keep all the food, drinks, recycling, 6 foot freezer, shopping bags and wine racks in there.
