I would agree with that. Other than a closed glass or plastic container, bugs can get into sealed paper packages and are in the food she kept. This job though proves you don't have to have a fancy 15 room million dollar home to have neat and organized kitchen cabinets. And the older cabinets give the room character.

might want to check those flour items that are years out of date. just checked online and they say 4-6 months after the date. also if it's that old, you obviously aren't using it.

When I do a pantry cleanout and see expired canned/dried goods I actually make it a goal to eat it up the same week I do the cleanout. But I agree, you need to actually have the motivation to not let it go to waste, otherwise it's pointless.

[@tgayer1]

YES!

Because many folks have family histories of lack, not enough food or resources, and the anxiety around any idea of "waste" is just not tolerable. Many cultural and personal histories go behind that.

You were talking about remembering how to make things if you toss the packaging. I cut the instructions off the box or bag and tape it to whatever it is I have the item in. Just make sure you put what the item is that the instructions go with. 🤔That is what I do anyway. Especially in my freezer that I don't have a lot of room in. I take things out of the box, put it in freezer bags but cut instructions off the box and put it on the freezer bag. Hope that helps.

[@usflin]

That's what I do!

[@KarMa-ws3ll]

you know, years ago a german tv show went from door to door collecting old food from people. They sent it to a lab and from a 1000 items, only 2 were toxic - a rusty can of pears and soup powder in a paper package from the 80s. The highlight was cooking pudding with us care packaged milk powder from 1948 and pudding mix from the 8oies on live tv - and eating it ! On the other hand, if your cupboards are overflowing like this, you will likely NEVER use the stuff and therefore, you should really get rid of it rather now than later :-D Piece of Mind is more important than saving a lot of stuff, honestly.

Canned goods are safe, but won't have as many nutrients. Anything oily, do the sniff test, like with nuts. If it has that rancid oil smell, pitch it. It won't taste good. I would store flour like that in ziploc in the freezer, labeled. I would store all nuts the same way. Nuts and seeds tend to expire more quickly, and get a funky aftertaste. The beans last forever, but will need to soak and cook longer.

[@Jana_Rea]

Dry beans only last about a year because they will get harder and harder and will not soften.

Canned stuff and dried stuff -- yes keep it but SMELL checks and visual checks are important. Also give yourself a deadline... like cook all that stuff THIS MONTH, better yet this week, or just toss it since you will probably go another 4 years without touching it otherwise lol.

[@rredpenn2029]

My pantry once smelled like rancid oil. It took me so long to figure out it was a box of saltines I had in the back. Who knew that saltine crackers can get rancid enough to stink?? So, yes to the sniff test. Nuts also go rancid, too, btw.

Not just pests, but flour goes rancid if too far past the best by date.

[@RCGWho]

If you can't see weevils in it and it's not rancid it's fine.

I volunteer at a food pantry and our rule of thumb for dry goods is 6mos past expiration/best buy. Anything donated with an older date will be disposed of.

With old drawers that dont have slider hardware, a good thing to do is take drawers out and rub wax on the tops and bottoms to help them slide. Any wax will do. I've used old ski wax, cooking wax and random candle ends. It does help. I do this with old bureaus a couple of times a year. Also, if someone painted where the drawers are supposed to slide sand that paint off first then wax. Even a little paint can add to the thickness of a drawer.

If the items are that old, you obviously did not go looking for them. Why keep them? Baking products I would trash if they are very much past date, especially if they have any fat content. Canned items are probably okay for a few years, but I try to use within a few months past their date.

We had a cupboard in our family cabin in Pacific Grove that literally had a door that opened to a screened in little pantry with direct air flow from outside. Not a great security feature. But we kept our cream puffs from the scotch bakery in there.

I enjoyed this very much. It’s a bit scary to see how much one person can hoard and most of us a guilty of over buying and buying for the ‘fantasy cook/chef’ in us. Putting products into landfill is such a waste. I feel so guilty when that happens. Being mindful when shopping is a great way to buy just what’s needed. Use up what you have and see if you really like that item and don’t purchase just for the sake of it. I mean this just as sharing my own experience and with kindness and respect. Thank you both for sharing this declutter. 😊

[@ritasnellgrove6343]

I don't understand keeping food that hasn't been used for years after expiring. Trashing it would create so much new space for new and different products. I've learned to not stockpile. I shop weekly and just get what I need. Helps that I have no storage and my kids are grown. All this just feels too cluttered to me.

[@CobraDove1111]

NO, coconut flour, almond flour, and pancake mix is not okay to keep after expiry date.... Why? because it has OILS in it. The oils go rancid. Canned goods, and things like pasta or sugar are okay after expiry dates. Why not decant all those bags into airtight containers to keep bugs out?? What I do for the instructions is I cut a little instructions part out of the cardboard packaging and I simply put it into the airtight container. She needs large lazy susans for all those oils and vinegars. A rule of thumb is, ask yourself if the product has oils in it...... Oils go rancid. I don't know if this is true, but I just heard that using expired pancake mix is extremely toxic something about botulism. Does it drive anyone else crazy that she is not taking the labels off those bin containers??

[@carrie3206]

Hahaha, yes to the labels. I have also heard the same about pancake mixes recently, but I don’t remember the details. Okay, I had to look it up. Although the article referenced only three incidents over 20 plus years, the expired pancake mix caused severe allergies, asthma and one death. A lab found the pancake mix contained mold and contained Penicillium, Fusarium, Mucor, and Aspergillus! 😳🥴

[@Beachlover-ih7mh]

Expired baking powder won’t activate. Some things you can keep but not grains. They can be dangerous

[@Loca100por100]

The rules of food conservation after its expiration date are the following basing on how the date is shown: - month/day/year: up to 3 months after expiration date; - month/year: from 3 up to 18 months after expiration date; - year: over 18 months after the expiration date. I hope this is helpful!!! In addition, she could place her water bottles next to her mugs after duclattering some!!! I also think you should revisit some of those drawers maybe using dividers/organizers and definitely baskets for her tools shelf. Great Job 🎉

[@tammycrookshanks4112]

You are not supposed to keep baking goods after 3 to 4 months at the most. That is why I no longer eat at anyone's house because they cooked expired baked goods and food. It was awful and obvious!! I stopped after that! Also, you all did not even check for BOE weavels which are bugs in dry flours. That is just gross and unsanitary.

[@BlueBird-nf2gp]

My husband is amused by how often I check expiration dates. I don't really cook but if I did you could come to my house! 😉

The only two issues are the flour bitter/rancid, which is more of a problem with high protein flours OR baking powder, yeast, or baking soda which lose potency.

[@juliabrock-n5l]

1920's cooler- is the pantry open to the attic and the basement/ crawlspace. Walls behind this storage is probably brick or adobe.. This was as cool as they could make it for the limitation of spoilage. (Lived in a 1920's house for 8 years.)

[@contancesholl3833]

Honestly, I must comment on all baking products. If expired you will not get a quality baked good, and I mean all. Get rid of them. Canned goods eat at your own risk. Usually canned goods are only good for 2 years from purchase. Nuts and seeds get rid of past date. There are oils in nuts that can make products go rancid. There is my two cents. Have fun and I love your channel, Carla! Hugs 🫂

[@karenpage9383]

Canned goods don't go bad unless the can loses the seal. That said, it loses nutrition as it ages. Nuts, seeds, and flours (especially whole wheat) go rancid because of the oils in them. Don't take a chance with those. Any baking mix with baking powder past its date likely won't bake up right as baking powder loses its potency after a year unless its been frozen. For that matter, you can extend the life of nuts, seeds, and flours by keeping them in the freezer too. Lentils, beans, and popcorn are considered forever foods, as are sugars and salts. Obviously bottled oils have a high chance of going rancid, but vinegars and honey are forever foods. Teas and spices are safe beyond their date but will lose medicinal benefits and flavor. And if you don't already cook with something on the regular, you will not turn to it in an emergency, nor will you remember the best way to prepare it. Don't keep anything for "just in case" that you are not already in the habit of eating. And recognize "fantasy clutter" in the pantry... if you're saving bottles to make mead or kombucha, but you haven't already done that, you're not likely to. If you bought a bunch of gluten free flours but haven't baked with them, you're not likely to. If you bought a bunch of keto stuff and didn't use it or like it, you're not likely to use it up.

[@RCGWho]

Beans only last a year as they get so hard they will not soften in chili, etc.

[@makaroes3601]

I rarely comment on videos I watch but I needed to say that I'm stunned at how she keeps things that has expired over a year ago or more... *Some* foods can be consumed up to 30 days after the expiration date AT MAX. This is unhealthy, please tell your friend to throw out that pantry completely.

The matter isn't 'Is it still good'. The matter is: Use up what you have. Every time you consider buying dry goods and condiments, you must check if you already have it. Then use up what you have. *Stern granny look over glasses* 😅 And if you don't want to use it anyway, then get rid of it.

[@samanthafilologia]

I don't keep any expired food or medicine. I'd toss everything that's expired and use what's still good. I'd use shopping lists and only acquire what's actually needed and will be consumed soon.

[@sallyhelena4822]

Yay Carla congrats on 100K! RE expired items - not sure if it is the same in the US but in New Zealand we have either 'best before' & 'expired by' dates on our food. By general rule I'll keep 'best before' foods for long after the recommended dates as long as they smell & look fine since the 'best before' dates are really just a recommendation but I'll generally not keep 'expired by' foods too long after their expiry dates as they usually do really expire then! (I also have quite a sensitive stomach so I do have to be pretty careful lol) But one thing I do when I do a pantry clean up is corral the foods after their best before / expiry dates and then I have them all in one place to remind myself to use them ASAP. If by the next clean up I haven't used them & think I won't use them any time soon I'll chuck the packaging & stick the food in our food scraps bin (our city has designated weekly collection bins for food scraps) or if the food & packaging has just gone bad I'll chuck the whole thing. Lots of love to you & Samson ❤

i grew up in a 1920s house, and the screen above the cabinet (and I think below, hard to tell from the video) reminded me of a cupboard we called the "cooling cabinet."

[@porkchop9024]

I used to work in food packaging, so hopefully I can help with the date questions. Expiry dates, you should absolutely follow, especially with medicine. If you consume past the date, it will not be as effective as it’s intended, which usually leads to people over using, which can lead to medical emergencies. So best to throw away truly expired items. Best before dates are a requirement for liability on the companies part, but doesn’t necessarily pose a health risk. They are more meant for “item will be the freshest when consumed by this date”. General rule here is if it smells good, looks good and tastes good, it’s probably fine to consume. It also depends on the container it’s been stored in. For example, canned food can last a long time, but if you see any rust, regardless of the date, you should NOT consume the item due to potential lead poisoning. Same with jarred food, if that air bubble has been popped, it’s no longer good to consume. There are ongoing talks in Europe to ban best before dates due to food waste as it causes a lot of confusion for consumers. If that happens there, likely will become a worldwide adopted practise as it’s cheaper / easier for companies to manage when there’s global consistency in their manufacturing process. If you feel better throwing away the food vs taking the risk, then that’s the safest thing to do for you. Always try to buy what you need week-to-week to reduce food waste and save you money. Meal planning and shopping with a grocery list are also good tips to help you reduce food waste and ensure you consume what you’ve bought.

[@RCGWho]

Love the simplicity and ease of it. It reminds us that we can start off with a good clean out and from there it doesn't need to be complicated. I appreciate you and your friend. Thank you.

I don’t keep anything even if it expired yesterday! I don’t think pasta expires!

No way... as someone who has suffered food poisoning more than a few times... if the date has pass, it is trash. Nothing is worth that.
