Contingency plans

[SatNavSaysStraightOn]

My thing isn’t even a concern about use by dates, it’s simply this weird thing in my brain that says, “You bought it, now use it!”

MrsT will buy something like Oreos - I don’t even like Oreos - but as soon as they’re in the house, I give her about a week to open them, and if she doesn’t, I open them and eat one cookie a day until they’re gone, because I have this little voice in my head screaming, “They’re taking up room and they’re not doing anything! You have to eat them! They’re in the way of the next thing!”

I'm fine if something is not open. I can look at it for months. If it is open, that's another matter. My will power evaporates the moment something is opened.

My OH on the other hand will get to the very last serving of something and then not use it because we'll run out if he uses it.

I'll flip the cans over and open the non dusty end... No worries me looking at it; I know its there.
