Full title: The sell-by dates you shouldn't swallow because they're a myth peddled by supermarkets to make us buy more. Your guide to how long food REALLY lasts after Co-op scraps 'Best Before' date

Any prepper worth his or her salt knows what foods last and what ones don't. We do most of our shopping buying food that is marked down 20% or more because it is approaching the "sell by" date. That's an instant 20% savings on our bill for perfectly good food.

I go straight to the discount bins while my daughter rounds up the free bread, meat and cheese samples.

You spend more money when you food shop while hungry.

This stuff was priced quite reasonably...

       

...but nobody can quite figure out what it is...

Thanks Oshkalaboomboom. I wonder what the "sell by" date is for Haggis?

From the article, “Pulses and rice can sit happily in the cupboard for long after the ‘Best Before’ date.”. What in the world are “pulses”?

[Ciaphas Cain]

What are pulses?

Basically, dry beans grown year-round.

I used to be like you. However, after 4 major stomach surgeries I’m more careful about what I eat. I can’t take the chance on expired food anymore.

[Oshkalaboomboom]

What in the world are “pulses”?

According to my British born and raised wife, beans and peas.

To clarify, the deals we buy are near expired food. Usually about two or three days before.

Best regards!

I assumed it had something to do with lasers.

When you talk about canned goods, for most, shelf life is a decade, minimum.

I appreciate what you do to save money. The world would be a better place if everyone was as wise as you are.

Thanks. I got a really nice chuckle out of that one.

I HATE peas. It’s the only veg that I can really say that about.

He didn't say they were eating anything. His daughter was simply "rounding up" all the free goodies. She might have a refrigerated purse to collect and store the consumables. ;o)

That’s a “gut pile”, or entrails. It’s deer season.
