get a sharpie and mark the date you purchased it on each can

That's a good idea. I do make sure that everything I put in my emergency supplies has an expiration date, but I have not yet had emergency supplies long enough to worry about rotation. Better late than never!

I have a Mormon girlfriend. She bought a date stamp and she date stamps every can...on top of that, she rotates stock, of course, using oldest stuff first. She also has annoying round small tables everywhere...underneath the ruffly table cloths are bins holding flour, rice and stuff like that. She is now in her 70’s and has been doing this all her life. She’ll be somewhat disappointed if Armageddon never happens in her lifetime. (that’s a joke she uses.)
