Is your "expired" food actually dangerous, or are you just throwing
money in the trash? According to the USDA, average households lose $1,300 a year because of food waste. Misunderstanding expiration, best-by, and sell-by dates is a big part of the problem.
With only a few exceptions, these dates are suggestions and not firm rules.Besides saving money, reducing food waste can help reduce emissions, so save your budget and the planet!
If you're trying to store food to prep, watch your budget, or just clean out your pantry, it's important to understand what's still safe to eat... and what you should absolutely toss in the trash. That's especially true for canned and shelf-stable foods.
