Sure, I'm paying for it! I didn't think it was anything to be ashamed of I'm not obsessive about it, but with things like fresh bread and grapefruit juice I try to get the one with the latest "sell by" date. By the way- Kenny, I see you say "food store" as well! I always say this, and my friend thinks it's weird (but she's from Idaho, so what does she know?). I thought it was a pretty normal tag for a store from which you buy food. . . |

Nothing neurotic about buying the product that will last the longest. A certain percentage of loss due to spoilage is built into the system, and I am not going to pay for that AND be stuck with spoiled food. |

absolutely. I always pick through and get the longest expiration I can find And if it all expires before I would like, I sneer derisively and put it back on the shelf.

I check the dates on everything. And now both kids are trained the same way. We stopped at the store the other night and Brian was looking at the dates on potato chips bags. He made me proud. |

I always search for the freshest date. In the refrigerated or frozen sections, I always move packages around to get to the coldest ones below. It really takes negligible extra time to do this, so why wouldn't I? |

I check all the dates too - especially on dairy products and meat. Nothing worse than taking a swig of old milk.
