I'm not paranoid about expiration dates like others in my family, however, there is merit in getting rid of old food, even if it's dried. A product's shelf life slowly dies when it's shoved to the back of a cupboard, forgotten for years.
Today I dove into my spice shelf. It's really pretty neat and pared down, yet I discovered a box of partially used frosting tubes in varied colors, probably from a cookie project my class did in the fall or even in 2013. They needed to be tossed. Also taking up space was half a box of Jello pudding mix. I'd been saving it because I used the first half for fabulous Twinkie cupcakes a year ago, fearing that Twinkies might be no more. Twinkies are currently back on grocery shelves and my Jello is old.
