Don’t let canned coconut milk go past the date. It will smell and taste like vomit. Serious, vomit. I refuse to buy it anymore.

Does your canned tomatoes expire in September of whatever year? Every last one of mine always expires/best buy is September. That gives quite a while for plus or minus leeway so who knows. A while back (not that long ago), I had just purchased some Great Value canned tomatoes and shortly after noticed each can had serious spikey rust on the top rim. Carefully got some of the spikes off and opened them. The rust hadn’t gone through but it was the weirdest thing. Guessed they had sat on cargo ships but it was after the cargo situation so who knows. But with the “September” dates on tomatoes, well, you never know where it’s been hanging out.

Yes, my limit is 5 years past dates on cans in general. Rotate, rotate and if something needs used, put it out on the counter so it’s in your face to be used asap. Had some pumpkin pie mix. Can’t stand the stuff and guessing I picked the wrong product off the grocery shelf. Had a couple old cans so used them in pumpkin bread and they were pretty tasty.

I have a recipe for Oatmeal-Pumpkin Bread that you’d never know had either in it. And it’s lower in flour carbs than regular bread.
