I wandered into the kitchen this morning and found my toddler studiously pulling out all the tinned food in my bottom cupboard. Cans of tomatoes warred with tuna and she was perilously close to breaking open a jar of jam as she happily tapped the lid with a tin of corn.
I went to put them away, but first I glanced at the best before date on the tin of tomatoes. I knew it had been a while since we’d bought them – they were the cheapest supermarket label, and we hadn’t had to buy that brand for a while.
I didn’t expect the use by date to be all the way back in March 2011 though.
