  I love how my local grocery stores sell steaks at a deep discount when they’re a day or two from expiring. Like, 75% off for aged beef? OK, if you insist.

    I miss when heavy discounts like that were common. Much harder to find now. They usually manage to sell it off at much lower discounts instead.

      I found a 5 pound slab of skirt steak for about $6 a couple of weeks ago. I thought I was hallucinating.

        Before or after eating the expired beef?

  I’ll eat leftovers a week later and people act like I’m eating a baby. Sniffing test motherfuckers, heard of it? People waste so much food it infuriates me.

    People have different sensitivity to smells; I wouldn’t trust my nose to detect when something starts to spoil, and when it completely went awry I am able to see it anyway.

    Most things I eat don’t even need a sniff test. You can see and feel veg is going off before you can smell it and its safe to eat for longer than I am willing to eat it. Its only once it starts going mouldy or slimy that its unsafe.

    Soy sauce, honey, salt, dried herbs are essentially never going off. Worst with herbs is reduced flavour, but I grow my own. Been meaning to make a smoked salt and herb mix sometime. Got to actually smoke some salt though.

  I don’t worry about the dates, but sometimes it’s mouldy or smells rotten and I throw it out at that point.
