My mother also bought things in bulk, way too much than we could eat at any given time. She would hold onto it and use it eventually - years after the expiration date. It would be really embarrasing w company. They would comment something tastes funny about the mayo or the salad dressing. We would look at the bottle, and the expiration date would be 3 years prior to the date. |
How did I miss your post?! I have an aunt who is this way. We had Thanksgiving at her house one year and the turkey was so old and so pathetic to begin with that when dad went to carve it, the thing just deflated into a pile of skin and bones. It was just like a scene from the Jodi Foster movie, can't think of the title.
