If it is something like tofu or meat, ill toss it. If it is something w/ a longer shelf life like ketchup or canned goods, ill eat it for a little past. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-toss-expired-food#post-1037935 Thu, 22 Aug 2013 20:06:08 +0000 mrsjyw 1037935@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>ALWAYS. and sometimes before if i know it'll go bad before we use it. i HATE clutter. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-toss-expired-food#post-1037924 Thu, 22 Aug 2013 20:03:57 +0000 blackbird 1037924@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Not always </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-toss-expired-food#post-1037911 Thu, 22 Aug 2013 20:00:51 +0000 CupQuakeWalk 1037911@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>YES. I toss so quickly... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-toss-expired-food#post-1037906 Thu, 22 Aug 2013 20:00:11 +0000 Chocoholic 1037906@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Always. If its expired or looks bad it goes right in the garbage. I try to do this once a week either before food shopping or the night before the trash goes out. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-toss-expired-food#post-1037730 Thu, 22 Aug 2013 19:07:50 +0000 PurplePumps 1037730@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I probably should, but I don't. If it still smells good and has a really long shelf life as it is, I still use it. *knock on wood* have never gotten sick! I'm using salad dressing that had a exp date of April this year right now..... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-toss-expired-food#post-1037726 Thu, 22 Aug 2013 19:07:25 +0000 Beyond2 1037726@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I don't trust expiration dates at all. I've had ricotta cheese with pink bubbly mold in it weeks before it was set to expire and Cottage cheese 2 months past its date that was still perfectly fine! In my opinion, they can't predict an exact date something will go bad. You have to use your own senses and judgement! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-toss-expired-food#post-1037723 Thu, 22 Aug 2013 19:06:52 +0000 PurpleUnicorn 1037723@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-toss-expired-food#post-1037720 Thu, 22 Aug 2013 19:06:43 +0000 DigAPony 1037720@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I go more by appearance and smell rather than expiration date. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-toss-expired-food#post-1037717 Thu, 22 Aug 2013 19:05:41 +0000 heffalump 1037717@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes. I don't care how good and fresh it still looks.... I'm tossing it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-toss-expired-food#post-1037714 Thu, 22 Aug 2013 19:04:57 +0000 Mrs. J 1037714@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>For the most part, yes. DH never checks! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-toss-expired-food#post-1037700 Thu, 22 Aug 2013 19:01:22 +0000 MrsF 1037700@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>it sort of depends what it is and who's going to eat it. I wouldn't give anything expired to M. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-toss-expired-food#post-1037691 Thu, 22 Aug 2013 18:59:08 +0000 betsyboop 1037691@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Tofu I'll use maybe a week after it expires. Stuff like gochujang I'll use for up to 6 months after it has expired. But meat, milk, eggs and produce I toss. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-toss-expired-food#post-1037689 Thu, 22 Aug 2013 18:58:46 +0000 Bao 1037689@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes, I am very picky about food. Even before the expiration date. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-toss-expired-food#post-1037688 Thu, 22 Aug 2013 18:58:27 +0000 MsLipGloss 1037688@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Usually yes. But sometimes (if I am the one who is planning to eat it), I might let something go a little past the date. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-toss-expired-food#post-1037683 Thu, 22 Aug 2013 18:57:21 +0000 prettylizy 1037683@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>If it looks icky, fails the sniff test or I don't trust it then, yes. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-toss-expired-food#post-1037675 Thu, 22 Aug 2013 18:55:43 +0000 chopsuey 1037675@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I had a few containers of tofu in the fridge that had "best if used before Aug 4" stamped on them. </p> <p>I felt bad, but ended up tossing them. </p> <p>I usually toss food/condiments if they've expired. </p>
