Frugality vs wisdom. When shopping I look at prices. For instance mayonnaise. A 16 oz jar may cost $2.00 and an 8 oz jar may be $1.25. Don't fact check I'm just using easy numbers as an example. Which did I usually buy? The $2.00 one of course. I'm saving per serving. In a year I used it maybe 3 times and wound up throwing out 1/2 to 3/4 of the jar. So now I'm a little wiser (a little not a lot). I buy the smaller quantity of stuff I may not use a lot of - 1 bottle of salad dressing instead of 12 different flavors, 1 jar of mustard instead of 4 (Dijon, Yellow, Spicy Brown and Chinese Hot). If and when I use up the one bottle or jar than I can get another or some other flavor. I have an unopened jar of Gold's Horseradish which was hard to find. Had to have it. If you're going to use Horseradish that's the one to get. After 2 or 3 years it's changed color even though it's unopened. I guess that's an indication of something. So, throw the expired stuff away. Only replace it when you actually need it and don't buy the replacement at Costco or Sam's. You'll have a hard time using up that 55 gallons can of Worcestershire sauce.
As for the statement "when in doubt throw it out". That concerns me a little. My wife keeps checking me out for an expiration date. She can't find one but she's starting to doubt. Should I be concerned? |

If he’s cleaning out the fridge let him , when he’s done tell him the bathrooms are next then the floors could use a vacuum and mop ,then there’s the dusting and laundry and ask what he’s making for dinner

Dump it
If you've ever had food poisoning, then you would know that it's not worth taking a chance eating food that is past due in the refrigerator.

In the pantry I toss just about anything that’s expired. In the refrigerator, not as much. Stuff never seems to get old enough.

Fridge
My number 1 rule for food is:
When in doubt, throw it out out. It’s always better to be safe then sorry. Good luck with the debate. |
