A month before your big move put a day in the diary to get into the depths of your food cupboards and go through all your supplies.  Dispose of all those items which are past their ‘sell by date’ (we all have those cake making ingredients we only used once in 2008!).  For the next few weeks aim to run down the rest of your food stocks including your frozen foodstuffs as moving companies will not move food as they cannot give a guarantee on the health & safety of food stuffs.
