You're set because I don't live in your house hold. I loves me some peanut butter (smooth and creamy of course), I don't care for that crunchy stuff.

Peanut butter is one of those where the “use by” date has a ring of truth to it. My goal was to accumulate 18-24 months supply of 90-95% of my non-perishable (canned, bottled, and jarred) foods. I achieved that pretty easily.

A couple of weeks ago I opened a (plastic) jar of Skippy Peanut Butter that had a use-by date from late 2011 (a little over two years old). It was edible but like eating play-doh (even more than peanut butter is normally like eating play-doh ;’). I was able to eat it but knew that I needed to look at limiting the life-cycle to about 18 months.

That happened at my house also. It was like something happened to the oil in it.

I am still trying to find a local place to buy fifty pound bags of dried beans. The local whole foods wanted an arm and a leg for their beans.

My biggest lesson on food storage is that a full pantry doesn’t last long.

You can usually get a GOOD price on pinto beans at a mexican market.

Looks like you can get a 50 pound bag from Honeyville right now for about $60.00 plus $4.49 shipping.

Although it's a good piece, he lost my confidence with this....

“Most of you may not realize that Subway (a place I think of as somewhat healthy) just removed a plastic stabilizer from their bread recipe.”

....Did he sign the petition to ban hydrogen dioxide as well?

Was your peanut butter in a plastic jar or in a glass jar? Mine was the larger size in plastic.

I’ve had both turn rancid. Doesn’t pay to buy the twin packs in bulk at Sams.
