Today I did my much-needed grocery shopping run. I purchased only one frozen item, albeit a frozen pizza, and I noticed that there was no room in the freezer to fit the pizza. In a house of four people splitting a medium-sized refrigerator/freezer combo I was in disbelief (considering I did not have any frozen items in the freezer to begin with. Here is when you know that the freezer has never been reorganized...when you have food that has been left there that belonged to not the previous year's tenants or the even the year before that but the tenants from at least three years ago. Today I uncovered numerous very old items including this Turkey Bacon that was purchased over three years ago. For those who cannot read the date inscribed on the side of the package it says:
"USE OR FREEZE BY 10 23 08"
Wow! It's too bad this isn't wine, that would at least make the resale value nice. 3.5 years may not seem that long ago, but for meat, this Turkey Bacon is now practically an antique. It is interesting thinking what I was doing back in October of 2008...having the time of my life in Mexico.
I normally like asking all of my roomates before throwing something I think is old out, but this time there is no question that this Turkey Bacon belongs to nobody in sight.
