Thank you for this post. It's a constant topic of disagreement in our home🤣 Not anymore😁

Carrie Parsons lol

I worked way too hard on all those casseroles; there’s no way I’m throwing them out. Will just need to eat faster….

OR compost them using your #greenbucket! go.delawarehealth.org/CompostItProgram

Hot Dogs & bacon frozen 2-3 months?? Bought some this summer from Costco, still eating them. Hey, this is coming from public health. Cool I get it but those people just want you to throw away good so you will keep buying more when you don’t need to.
