I tend to buy more cleaning and other stuff even when I have already have bought some. Eg 5 large bottles of laundry liquid etc etc.
So now, once I have caught up a bit, when I buy a new bottle, packet or tin of something, I put a big tick on the current one. Seeing the tick regularly helps to remind me every time I use it that I have the next one.
I now don’t get so much that I run out of room to keep it but neither do I run out of important items.
