Cleaning pantry and discovered four little jello boxes hiding on the canned good shelf. Not sure why they jumped down there but they all have a "best by" date.... & of course, they no longer are "best". Does dry jello really expire?

I've always been told the best buy date is more of a suggestion. I usually don't use food past that date but I have.. like Ramen noodles. I would think they'd still be okay unless you are talking a year or more.

@TheCatsMeow They might take a little off or not jell but I would try it. That being said I am doing the same thing here and I just threw away a ton of tea sealed but I think it has been here forever.

@carol888
I am sorry you feel I was bellyaching. I was just asking if I could either use or someone else could. I was raised to not be wasteful.

You can use old tea bags on tired eyes!

@TheCatsMeow Now, that might be worth digging them out of the trash. I can barely stay awake today so I probably need some tea bags.

@TheCatsMeow I just read some of the ideas! Those tea bags are coming out of the trash! Good thing they were the last thing I put in!

Gelatin is great for at-home science experiments with the kids. That is, if there's kids around.

So true, I have pulled a package of meat from the freezer unlabeled and unidentifiable. Into a casserole dish with some marinara sauce and provolone on top.....good to go 🍽
