No more short term canned prep food for me.

If you have chickens, give it to them. Those birds will eat almost anything.

Are you SURE you want those farm fresh eggs?

Chickens really will eat anything. If you don't want those eggs anymore, I'll take 'em!

There I was, in one of those "dang I didn't get anything for dinner" moments. No worries! I'm prepared!

So I head over to the freezer and pull out a vacuum packed chunk of ground beef, walk over to the prep pantry and pull out a can of Sloppy Joe sauce. The kids love sloppy joes.

I noticed the sauce expired last year (2016) just a couple months ago. No worries! I prep! I know those best by dates are just a suggestion! I've read the charts!

So I cook it all up, it smells great. Make some big sandwiches for the boys and not one minute later they are back in the kitchen spitting it all back out. They start hollering about how it tastes like tin foil.

So I double check. Yeah. That stuff is gross.

Now I have 3 cases of veggies and **** sitting by the door. What a waste of money. I was planning on keeping them another 5 years!

I believe in a pantry that you cycle through what you eat on a regular basis. Some things though just aren't eaten enough to be in cans, and I won't trust them anymore after they expire.

This is just a small word of caution for you guys as well. That stuff may be perfectly stored, in undamaged cans, and inedible.

I'm bringing down the number of canned goods dramatically and stocking up on dry good and freeze dried foods.

Throwing out a couple hundred bucks worth of food. Smdh

It's expired, you use it anyway ,then blame the outcome on the food .Talk about shaking my head ..

Long term canned foods are fine if you follow what is taught in this video.

Whenever I find a mouse nest in my storage building I always get the pinkies out of it and throw them in my chicken pen. They swallow those little suckers whole!

I'll bet the problem was it was tomato based witch is highly acidic, I bet the other stuff that does not have tomato's would be good to go!

Get yourself some chickens. You'll have fresh eggs and meat, plus they'll eat that expired canned stuff you don't want. Mine will eat just about anything I throw in their pen.

yeah,they have the sh*ts all the time.
