Can I have all your canned food? I’m stocking up, and probably too old to worry about it.

I wonder if it makes a difference how long the stuff has been sitting around on the shelf.

I looked at a few canned items a few years ago and saw some quality-best-by dates about two years out on some vegetables. There should be something on at least some of the cans.
