I have started to date my foods that I put into storage; into the fridge, into the freezer, and into the pantry, my leftovers, everything.!
An easy way to do this is keep a dispenser of scotch tape and a sharpie handy. If you don't want to write on the carton (because you're going to use it again at another time or it won't take the pen), just put a piece of scotch tape on the package and write on it.
I do this with perishables as well as staples. I buy most of my staples in bulk, and keep them in an outside fridge. It's easy to read, and keeps me circulating my stuff, and I don't have to worry about how I'm going to get the writing off storage containers that I reuse over and over again.
I put these removable labels on the tops, the sides, wherever I need them.
I'm not the best organizer and this has greatly helped me.
