I guess I'm the odd man out...I've ingested too many things that were within the expiration date, that were bad, to screw with stuff outside the expiration. Hell, just popped open a carton of Horizon milk the other day, still sealed, with a month of life, drank cottage cheese right from the carton.
 
I’m the fridge cleaner outer at my house. It’s basically a holding tank for me to throw everybody’s crap away. They put leftovers and all sorts of junk that they know damn well they’re never going to drink or eat. So I stand there cussing throwing crap out every few days. I’m extremely cautious at my mother in law’s house. Liable to find something in there from the civil war.

One of my buddies used to joke about making a special shelf for the fridge that is just a slow move conveyor belt. It takes 3 days to go from the fron to back... where there's a trash can.

Mine would keep it for another 250Million years, expiration is a "recommendation"
I check the date on everything I pull out of the pantry or fridge if I know she didn't buy it in the last two weeks.

We were all over working on No fries Jr's Jeep years ago and No Fries Wife made us lunch, all of the smoke detectors went off and no sooner than they started howling she walks out the door and says lunch is ready! :laughing: God I love that woman! She is unflappable! Sweetest, dearest person you'll ever meet!

LOL I forgot about that. I just remember you losing the tip of your finger from the spring compressor, but yes she is a great wife and friend.

And it's gonna be in a Country Crock margarine container!
 
Wes said:
Exactly, and for some reason she loses the lids and they all have tinfoil on top. She likes to stack them 3 high like Jinga in an attempt to ambush me with whatever liquid is inside. Usually vegetable soup that spills everywhere.

This is so familiar.

When my Grandmother finally passed away, going through her two fridges and 2 freezers and cabinets what like a time capsule minefield.

Dude this is still so fresh.
Grandma passed last August grandad in February - but nothing could be cleaned out in the interim.

First you have to appreciate the frugality of Great Depression era survivors. Did you know that fast food styrofoam cups can be washed an reused. Oh they can. We could track the 8 evolutions of Hardeez logo changes (including changing the Z to an S) where they had sttored and reused those styrofoam cups.

Everything was in coutnry crock butter dishes as mentioned, only we always had the lids. We also found all the tupperware from circa 1982...it was put up for safe keeping and only used in fine settings.

Never throw away a plastic bag, you might need them one day. In a back hall closet there were 3 Big black trash bags full of noting but empty plastic bags.

I could go on...

How about toasting stale cereal. Or toasting old bread for croutons.

My great aunt and uncle were just like this with "disposable" items. When they found out I had chickens, they gave me probably 50 egg cartons they had been saving, even though they hadn't had chickens in 20 yrs. The expiration on the oldest carton was 1989
 
My MIL went through the great depression, so she had the save everything mind set. We were cleaning out a storage cupboard and found unopened cans of vegetables, but the cans were empty. The bottoms of the cans had basically rusted off and the contents slowly seeped out.
