I found that the catalyst for clearing out the freezer was a power outage the night before going on holiday. I chucked a load of stuff, gave some to the neighbours and managed to get them to store a few things while I was away. Since I came back, I've restocked, but mostly with things that are less likely [1] to get forgotten about.
