Do you rotate your food in your pantry or cabinets when you go grocery shopping?

LOL! I try, but it's hard because of the way I shop. I mean, I have 55+ cans of beans, 20+ bottles of BBQ sauce. I usually look at the dates when I go to grab a new one off my shelf. I get a lot of stuff that Amy lets expire because she won't touch it after the date.

I'm a little funny about things when they expire too. We do rotate our cabinets. My husband has this habit that I thought was really weird when I first met him, but now I do it too. We write the date we buy things on the box or cans etc. with a sharpie marker. It makes it easier to see how old something is and keeps us from buying too many things that aren't being eaten.

Yes, I keep the oldest stuff in front and use it first. But, I won't touch anything after the expiry date either.. and I don't have nearly the stockpile you ladies do!!

I do rotate a few things. There's no need to sharpie date things in my pantry, I don't stockpile like you, things generally get eaten pretty fast around here.
