Who moves canned goods?

[impulsereader]

My book-sized boxes say on the side, "Heavy Duty, Easy to Lift Box for Your Heaviest Items Such as Books, Tools, Canned Goods, Etc."

Leaving aside the atrocious misuse of capitalization, I repeat, "Who Moves Canned Goods?"

The Canned Good Moving Co? Sorry, have been plied with champagne and then handed my phone.
In other news, Martin Freeman knows about Red Pants Monday and Mark Gatiss said that Sherlock survived by drinking Redbull.
I'll do proper write up when I'm sober and not in the Criterion but I thought you could do with some cheering up. Oh and in response to a question about Mystrade, Rupert Graves nodded and then said "Well of course, it's obvious"

I also apologise for letting Kiz play with her phone while inebriated - although since Kiz spent 6 hours on her feet this morning at the Cenotaph I think we ought to forgive her, just this once)
And edited again by Ben who thinks the pair of them are bloody funny drunks

When we moved from our apartment to the house, lo these many years ago, we did in fact box up the kitchen including the canned goods! So at least a few people do move canned goods. :)

I would totally move canned goods! No sense in throwing away the money you spent on them, and canned goods are excellent at surviving moves and providing food for your brand-new kitchen until you can get yourself unpacked and down to the grocery store. Pizza is traditional for the First Dinner In The New Home, but canned goods are fine for a few meals thereafter.

Best comment ever.

Cheering up accomplished. :-)

I'm so glad you're all having fun!

It totally makes sense to move them if you have them. I'm just a little confused about how that makes the list of frequently-moved items. :-)

It totally makes sense to move them if you have them. I'm just a little confused about how that makes the list of frequently-moved items. I guess I don't really buy a lot of them at one time because I've been on the third floor and my shopping strategy has adapted accordingly. This means the idea that someone who is packing up for a move goes into her pantry and starts filling boxes with canned goods is a bit strange to me.

Besides me? People in houses with storage space.

I feel suitably chastised now. My only defense is that I've been living on the third floor of a building with no lift for several years. My shopping strategy - while I do buy extra canned goods when they are on sale - had been focused more upon the eventual carrying up in one trip (use a basket rather than a cart or you have no hope.)

Canned goods aren't so very good for this. I can't, therefore, imagine going into my pantry (when preparing for a move) and being all businesslike about needing multiple boxes for all the canned goods.

Does the new place at least have fewer stairs? I suspect that I may need three flights of stairs for my health and to cut down on clutter. Of course once the clutter was up there....

Editing to add on that I'd love to see my love try to get our massive collection of defunct computers up three flights of stairs. But I suspect that the stairwell might suddenly acquire pulleys.

It does have fewer stairs. It is also tiny. I hope to be cozily ensconced after the weekend.
