Do you mean rotten or just past a printed expiration date?

If the 2nd, me. Expiration dates are just guidelines for most things.

5/3/2014 6:43:20 PM

nah, not rotten. i'm not homeless, just lazy.

dates. i always get stuff when i shop and then forget that i only have a few days to cook it, and then it ends up expired before I eat it. only the pork ever really makes me consider what i am doing

i don't trust that. i just found out last week that my webMD AIDS diagnosis was wrong.

5/3/2014 7:27:11 PM

I don't have the kind of money to throw things out on the expiration date

5/3/2014 7:35:49 PM

I've made hamburger helper 3 years after the box said it expired

I advise against it

5/3/2014 7:40:11 PM

5/3/2014 8:25:40 PM

I'm cool with eating stuff that's expired...as long as it's not rotten or some shit

5/3/2014 8:57:48 PM

^Im not a fan of eating "some shit" either

5/3/2014 9:09:51 PM

Expired how? Like by date ? Or rancid?

5/3/2014 10:38:51 PM

Expiration dates are like speed limits and ages of consent...

just a suggestion.

i drank from ~four wounded soldiers last night does that count

5/4/2014 12:50:08 AM

I was gonna post earlier that I'd at least open an old bag of chips or something, but wouldn't eat old meat, fruit or vegetables

Then I was hungry just now and didn't have anything at the crib, but I had some pepperidge farm box I had gotten for Christmas sometimes loooong ago...the meat was vacuum sealed but i didnt touch it, but i did open the crackers, which were still sealed in the bag...ate a few...they still had a fresh type of crunchiness but they smelled like chemicals so i didn't eat more than like 6 or 8...i'll post ITT tomorrow if I yack tonight

5/4/2014 1:58:51 AM

i would probably eat that summer sausage. ain't no thang.

5/4/2014 10:06:14 AM

yeah summer sausage is pretty suspect to begin with, so why not? lol

5/4/2014 10:24:28 AM

I'm eating some stale utz salt and vinegar chips right now. Also I wouldn't touch that summer sausage. Sounds like a tranny porn star.

Back in 2009 I spent ~$50 one evening on canned food. Harris Teeter had a pallet of brand new canned food right at the entrance when I walked in. $0.33/can for veggies, $0.50/can for fruit.

I still have a pantry full of them. Some with "best by" dates of 2011 and 2012...they all still taste great. As long as they are canned properly they'll last practically forever.

I also frequently eat meat that has been in our freezer for years. No issue as long as it has been frozen the entire time (vacuum-sealing really helps).

5/4/2014 5:01:29 PM

the freezer. why didn't i ever think of the damned freezer? thanks!

the noodles were probably fine but the spice packet is what got you

5/4/2014 6:13:28 PM

nah it was the taco version

the corn chips had started to fall apart or something

5/4/2014 6:28:10 PM

I ignore expiration dates. I hold my nose and eat brown/slimy vegetables--just scarf em down really quick. Moldy, soft cheese gets trashed, but for hard cheese, I just scrape the mold off. And I don't eat meat that smells funny.

5/4/2014 6:50:29 PM

I've got two friends who's primary source of food is grocery store dumpsters. I've eaten at their house prolly 50 times and never got sick.

5/4/2014 7:06:58 PM

i guess as long as it was in the dumpster in a bag, i would eat at their house.

5/4/2014 7:13:57 PM

Yeah. Meat and bread is wrapped. The veggies are usually just in a big box. They just wash the veggies just like you would with store bought.

Sadly, dumpster season has come to an end thanks to the warmer weather. At least for perishables. And dumpsters stink so bad in the summer you'd have to be a hardcore MF to go after the non perishables.

5/4/2014 7:58:46 PM

the dumpster diving thread in The Lounge is a quality thread

i like how you get called a troll for criticizing people for eating food out of the garbage

5/4/2014 8:15:22 PM

cause trolls eat garbage?

5/4/2014 8:26:30 PM

I thought they ate goats

5/4/2014 8:27:07 PM

[an interesting point]

5/4/2014 8:27:45 PM

Trolls are the ones throwing out perfectly good food when 20,000,000 US children come from homes with food security issues. And I don't know how many tens of millions of adults, and how many hundreds of millions of people outside the US. They are trolling the world. And I haven't even mentioned the waste of the energy and raw materials that went into the food, which is not recoverable.

Dumpster divers at least save the energy and the product from going to waste.

As for "eating food out of the garbage", well that's just a play on words. It is not waste, refuse, leftover restaurant food, spoiled food, etc. If I throw a perfectly good thing into the garbage, that doesn't make it garbage. Are you too good to pick out a gold coin or a bundle of $100 bills from the garbage if you see it?

I don't do dumpster diving, but I am not going to knock people who pick out packaged non-spoiled food to feed their families. Food is money.

oh here we go, mr-raghead-airplane-hijacking-building-flying-into-8-year-old-girl-fucking-cow-worshiping-rape-advocate-shemale-penis-loving closeted homo here is up on his high horse bitching about shit no one cares about

5/4/2014 8:38:54 PM

I think you are using the term "troll" a bit too liberally

5/4/2014 10:55:11 PM

milk still gets the sniff test, along with other foods...(ive defiantly spit milk in the sink, just b/c it passed the sniff test doesnt always mean it passes the taste test)

the only thing that doesnt is meat...meat doesnt get any kind of test

5/4/2014 10:59:43 PM

^^ oh snap!

^ there is no need to be defiant about it

5/4/2014 11:04:34 PM

*raises hand*

My wife gets grossed out when I eat stuff thats been in the fridge for a couple days but smells and looks fine. I've also had milk that was a couple days past expiration...it didn't smell/taste sour.

5/5/2014 12:12:32 AM

The date on milk is usually a sell by date not expiration date.


But I won't consume any dairy product past the sell by date or expiration date. Meat either. Other stuff it just depends on what it is and how hungry/lazy I am.

5/5/2014 12:28:27 AM

Yogurt and other fermented dairy products are still good far past the expiration date. I regularly eat yogurt that is a week or 2 out, and it is fine. Max I have gone is 4 weeks and it was still good.

5/5/2014 1:20:18 AM

my dad owns his own store, and I usually get first dibs on the out of date stuff. it its chips or something, theyre good for a month or two past the date. with cakes, you usually have a week or two after the date.

5/5/2014 1:44:24 AM
