I know one of the hard things for me to do is throw out food. I keep thinking of the hungry people of the world but that reminds me of one of Bill Cosby's lines, "I kept eating and the people in China kept getting hungry."
ReplyDeleteI would suggest you donate the food to the needy but they have their EBT cards and tend to eat better than we do.
Grace and peace.
LOL my blood pressure shot up 20 points just looking at those...
ReplyDeleteCurrently we only stock about 25% of the emergency food as we used to have on the racks.
ReplyDeleteA couple of years back a neighboring family slammed into a brickwall of nasty-ass hard times. From our larder we donated a couple of cases of that brand of noodle soup, a couple of large jars of extra crunchy peanut butter, several cans of tuna, several cans of sardines, 4 small canned hams, a case of canned pinto beans, a couple of gallons of laundry soap, etc. etc. etc.
It is hard for me to stomach MRE type of food so I rarely stock any of it. However, if things get desperate, I'll eat anything. I believe there is 12-years of shelf life left on a couple of namebrand 5-gallon buckets of something or another. Stuff will likely last longer than I will.
