cupboardful
What shelves hold
A cupboardful is the amount that a cupboard can hold.
Like other -ful words (handful, spoonful), it measures quantity by container capacity, though cupboards vary so widely in size that the term suggests abundance or a large supply rather than a precise amount.
She had a cupboardful of spices from her travels.
The plural may be cupboardfuls or cupboardsful.
