I can see you in a bar now... "Excuse me miss, you're pretty hot, but I need to check for mold..."

Foods aren't a huge risk. If it looks and smells ok it's probably fine. May have little to no nutritional value but still fine. Depends a bit on the food. Medications are a risky business. If it's past a year old I wouldn't use it unless life or death

Made some Mac N Cheese the powder type with an expiration date of 8/24/2010 on it tonight. I used some fresh from the farm buttermilk to reconstitute the powder cheese. It tasted great may have to buy a few dozen of these and repackage them in some mylar for longer SHTF storage

Pretty good Idea, I may add that to my stores as well. Buttermilk? hmm... sounds different, I'll try that too :-D

I have bought the cheese in bulk and put it up in mylar along with plenty of pasta. Much cheaper that way. $22 gets you a #10 can. http://store.honeyvillegrain.com/pow...x#.UhLKt3_pyys [Flower]

And they have powdered buttermilk as well.

Since Jerry mentioned the Honeyville cheese I'll mention their current discount code. Use code "FOODIE" during checkout at Honeyville today to get 10% off.

I should post them up when they come in. They normally are good for 3-4 days. I just forgot. Honeyville also has cheap shipping.

Ya I no longer buy honeyville now that walmart is carrying Augason Farms products no shipping cost and its cheaper

If there is anyone brave enough, while going through some old boxes that have been packed for several moves, I can across a couple of cans of Harley Davidson beer from Sturgis. One is 1984 and the other is 1985...........

I'd go with depression era wisdom personally. One bit of advice from me: pay attention to the flimsy plastic bag type packaging you see in cereal and crackers, etc. It'll degrade quicker than the food contents and make your saltines taste like diesel.
