A friend of mine posted this the other day and I thought I would share it with y'all. Don and I have been going through my kitchen pantry, organizing and checking dates and I discovered I had a good many 2022 items that I need to put to use. It's all canned food so I am comfortable still using it and refuse to throw away. I've even got some earlier 2023 goods, but will use them when needed.
I'll never forget helping Papa clean out the kitchen cupboards after Nannie Polly went to the nursing home. Papa wasn't much of a shopper so he wanted to know what he had to work with. He learned from Nannie how to make her biscuits and made them just about every morning for himself...I know hoping one of us would stop by to eat breakfast with him. In the process of cleaning things out we discovered cans of food that were more than just a few years old, mostly canned meat sticks, salmon and some soups. Papa refused to throw them out and ate them right up making room for the new groceries we would bring him. He did fine eating all that expired food, but I'm sure there were not as many unknown ingredients in them back then. We ate on Nannies home canned goods years after they were canned and Papa enjoyed just heating them up to eat as well, he didn't have to think about how to use them, Nannie had done that for him in how she canned things.
So, check your labels but don't feel like you have to throw it away.
