I appreciate your reply. It’s actually good to be prepared. I had a stash of different items we picked up from SAM’s club a while back. But, we sat on them. Then they expired. I’m not comfortable with them at this point. It feels terrible to ditch so many cans. But they are pretty old.

I need to figure out how to prepare with some common sense tactics.

I did all that. My fam called it apocalypse shopping. Then I went along with dan bongino suggestion patriot supply. It sits in my garage no maintenance no pests. It’s pricey but we won’t starve -and a water filter.

how old are your cans?....they can last a long time...if you are concerned, cook them on the stovetop til they are boiling and then cook for a full 10"...

but I have to say that I have overbought over the years....some has been wasted, but consider it an insurance policy you didn't use, but still paid for....PEACE OF MIND.
