I sometimes end up with few. I dont throw them away. I think that others would like it instead and as it is free its a bonus, so I put it outside beside the bin for anyone to take, do you do the same? They are usually gone within few hours  |

We don't have unwanted tinned food as I only buy what we use.
Tinned plum tomatoes for my pasta sauces.
Heinz beans.
Soup for my son for late evening supper, 'cos I'm not cooking that time of night.
The occasional tin of sweet corn or Heinz Ravioli for me.

I live in a block of flats and when people have tins they don't want they leave them in the foyer and people take what they want. I personally use all the tins i purchase not sure why people buy and don't eat. |

Empty them in a bowl and watch for the foxes come to eat it. |

I blame my Husband.
He bought a tin of cheese ravioli and it lived in the cupboard for 5 years because nobody eats that shit... |

I don't buy tinned food that we don't like so it all gets used.
Mostly have tinned tomatoes for sauces, baked beans, tuna, salmon, occasional sweetcorn, chicken soup. |

I see, that is good that they leave it there and it is good that you use all the tins too, sometimes I buy too many of them |

We tend to run our food stocks down, especially when feeling the pinch at the end of the month so rarely have food waste.
We go and see my parents about once a month and for some reason we always leave looking like we've been in a tombola, my dad always over orders or gets some obscure thing delivered as a substitute and won't give them back! So we end up with them...we have about 880 Tetley tea bags we probably won't use but I'll take them to work with me as I hate using work supplies.

"I'm ashamed to say I cleaned out our food cupboards the other day and filled a whole bin bag of stuff that was out of date. It all went in the bin. "
It’s easily done!! We have a child with sensory issues & wants to try stuff then changes their mind…

Hi becs, no they are not rusty, they are in good condition, that is good that your tins arent rusty either. I have the same kind of mix of tins like you, peas, beans, soup and some others too |
