Now sometimes I even embarrass myself (believe it or not) But tonight I really fancied something savory to eat.
Now I do watch what I eat so I don't often buy things in to just snack on and I don't really have a sweet tooth, but for some reason all I can find is bloody chocolate!
So found some mixed nuts and thought yum....Couldn't decide whether the sell by date was 2013 or 2016 or god knows what (but they tasted a bit funky)so in the bin, then I thought, maybe a pickled onion might hit the spot, then noticed they were a year out of date! 
Are all singles like this or is it just me?  |

I'm not single and my cupboards are still a bit like this. I cleared out four half full opened jars of beetroot last week And a can of sardines from about 2010. What's more ridiculous is I've moved house twice since then. |

"Nothing is out of date food wise in out cupboards as far as I'm aware. Sorry to be such an organised bore. "
I bet all the labels are facing outwards too aren't they |

"I cleared out my cupboards in the summer and found a jar of gherkins with a use by of 2009. They must have been ancient, possibly decades old."
Decades! I think they come free with the house. |

I looked through mine the other day a couple tins were out of date, only buy a year or so... I'm sure I have spices and stock cubes out of date.
Oh, last week I ate an out of date Ferrero Rocher... Stale as you like! |

My cupboards need a sort, I keep leaving ingredients close to eachother in the hope it'll magically make something up by itself but it's just not working out for me  |

Spices lose their taste so although not dangerous to eat they are also pointless to use.
I have a panty type cupboard under my stairs that is my storage for tins and jars. I have a contents list on the wall and tick things off as I use them. Then add back on the right number after shopping.....
Do the same for the freezer contents. |

I binned a few items from 2010 a few months ago. Mainly tins .
Are all singles like this or is it just me? "

My head teacher at school told us this story about an out of date tin of treacle that ended up EXPLODING all over her larder, so since then ive been hyper vigilant about use by dates lest I am victim of a similar occurrence. |
