WHY?

Great resource. Thank you for posting.

Are those parts of town safe?

There is a place here in Cincinnati operating every other Sunday that sells deeply discounted meat, dairy, frozen, canned and other foods.

I am sure they are operating illegally. Payment is strictly cash and there are no receipts. There is no sign outside, and you have to know which door to enter. You have to read expiration dates carefully, and exercise common sense, but there is money to be saved.

Look for more of this third world kind of operation to spring up.

Just tell her that she isn’t being logical, that makes women snap right out of it.

What’s also interesting is all the people who throw out perfectly good medicine because it has reached it’s use by date, the fact is that most medicine is still effective for 7 years after that date if I recall the study correctly. It is to expensive for pharma companies to keep samples and retest for extended studies.

Be careful with that. While some medications are fine, Tetracycline, for example, breaks down into toxic byproducts after the use by date.

Do your homework.

Absolutely, which is I used terms like most and if I recall correctly. Types of medicine and storage all have an effect on shelf life. As you say do your homework, mileage may vary.

This is the cause of the week. I’ve heard some annoying PSAs on the radio.

Let the little people eat rancid food and enjoy Cuban healthcare.

Happy days are here again.

Meat being the exception. I feed week overdue meat to the dogs, but eat everything else up to that point.

Well, there you go.

I give meat a much longer expiration time than dairy. I love finding "specials" in the meat department. Cook it to 155 and I'll take my chances.

My brother-in-law pastored a church years ago that ran a food bank. He got all kinds of goods from local grocers - expired or nearly so - to give away at the food bank. You gotta be careful though - he gave me some expired granola bars that when unwrapped had bugs in them.

My GF tosses anything dairy out 3 days BEFORE the BB date.

Not a good sign.
