Advice on how to get organised

Something to think about. My current system involves literally throwing tins I've just bought to the back of the cupboard, the hard to reach bit on the far left. This is partly due to my back being wrecked.

Maybe use a Litter Picker, about £3 from the likes of B&M

I use one to save bending when moving washing from washer to dryer, to basket. I keep it hanging inside on the cupboard door.

You highlight the problem with many shelf FiFo systems. It's all very well saying put the new stuff at the back of the shelf, but less than practical when there a dozen cans in front. Nobody ever mentions that flaw in the process. In supermarkets, the shelves are usually shallow and it's only one or a few newer items at the back, not a dozen different BBEs

Anything up to £4 each is cheap enough, I've bought assorted stackable trays before from the likes of Wliko, B&M etc. But frankly they are far too fragile and bendy and .... Well rubbish. The industrial strength of proper Bale Arms is no comparison. Bu66er how they look. The 600x400x17 are perfect weight and shape. Tins are only one layer and v little wasted space.
Yes... I'm raving over them, aren't I

Aye, you are a bit..... Don't worry though, most of my storage is bale arms or square buckets.
And at the risk of being classed as an enabler https://ebay.us/m/tUiZeq for the 6 1/2 inch ones at £36 for ten

The best FiFo shelving system I've seen (photos of) was in part of a double garage. They'd walled off a section with a lockable door into the new room, this was the access to one side of the U shaped shelving.
The inside of the U had the old Kitchen to garage door.
So they'd come home from the shops and pull into the garage, open the garage side door and put the stuff away on the shelves.
Then when they were doing the cooking they could open the house side door and gather stuff from the other side of the shelves.
