Stuff like tins and packets or frozen items, are you a regular checker? Or do you have items months out of date?

don't really check tins or dry foods... did just have to bin a pack of tortilla wraps I'd put in the freezer months ago because I went to dig them out and found out you can only freeze them for a month, so had gone all flaky and unusable

frozen items i do check for dates but usually they can last for over a year, same as with apple sauces also dates being like over a year, 2 years

I rarely leave stuff in cupboards long enough for it to be a risk. It's usually stuff like spices in the little glass jars - "Do we have any ____? Oh yeah here it is... oh wait.... Nov 2017 ..."

I did also once find a bottle of HP sauce in the cupboard at my mum's house when I was there over a Uni break. 6 years out of date . I don't know how it was even possible, it means that bottle of sauce went through two house moves... and for one of those it was already out of date!

Fairly often but that is mainly in part of my OCD issue of rearranging the cupboards. People in my house just don’t understand that the tins have to face a certain way.

Ahh this reminds me of when we found a 6 month old potato in a cupboard when I was at uni that had sprouted dozens of 2ft long roots. We put it under my flatmate's pillow and he "found it" in the middle of the night when he put his hand under the pillow... the scream woke us all up . The best of times.

Never, if I think something has been there for a while I'll just put it in the freezer
Don't care if anything is out of date if it looks fine Last edited by caprimint; 22-09-2020 at 01:21 PM. |

(she had) |

With some things that's fine but if you do that with poultry, dairy or canned meat of any kind you will probably die. Just sayin'. Probably wouldn't die from dairy to be fair, just a few days in agony on the toilet.

Most of that doesn't apply to me being vegetarian, but I've definitely had out of date dairy before and been fine
