I use a permanent marker to mark the last 2 digits of the ‘best by’ year on the labels of canned goods. That makes it easy to recognize which ones should be cycled for more immediate use.

We use a marker on each can - month/year of purchase; makes the rotation a lot simpler.

Re bottled water - what we get always has a use-by date of two years from bottling date.
