It looks fine to me Hally. Mine is horrid. We all tend to just dump stuff in there. I have all sorts of flour, rice and goodness knows what.
I really do intend to do something about it.

So here is an updated photo of my tin cupboard. It is actually better than when I started (although it doesnt look it) as I have been able to put spare bottles is sauces in here as well that used to be in other cupboards.

I know. However, I still have the two giant tins of passionfruit in syrup that DH bought home. The are past the used by date, so don't know whether I should just ditch them or try and make jelly or something   I didn't think that tinned fruit went off if it's in a sugar syrup >:(
Would love to get it off the shelf

ES, you can always freeze the passionfruit syrup, then whiz it up into a ice cream, or a sorbet. :) :)
It freezes well.

ES make some icecream and fold the syrup through it.

My no spend week ended up costing me $74.00. :o
Still it's under $100 and my average is $87.00 a week so I'm still very happy with this.  :D

I have 2 aussie farmers coming this week, had to buy some extra veg for extra dinner guests last night. I am up to $60 with the aussie farmers & hope to be under $100 this week. Have not been nder $100 in te last 3 weeks :(, but still a lot under wht we used to spend :)

Well done Mich, your average is fantastic $87, great savings.

Obbie, whats your budget again?
