Ah, the glamorous life of a millennial~

Heh heh, or anyone who has a dad who likes to buy cheap food

always check the expiration date on any foods no matter what except for soda and candy

Actually that food I ate was expired the next day, obviously it was a little off... Kinda like milk but opposite since usually its fine even a week after its expire date.

too bad it wasnt a mcdonalds burger those things have a shelf life of...∞

Yeah. I know about expired soda. When those things go out of date, the taste is past horrendous. After buying several out of date sodas from one particular store, I learned two things. First, STOP buying sodas from that store and second, check the expiration date on sodas.

i would think it would have a longer shelflife due to the preservatives and sugars

You'd think. LOL. I used to drink the original Pepsi Zero diet soda. After getting numerous out of date sodas, I asked the Pepsi stocker why this was the case. He told me that to get the zero calories Pepsi had to use to artificial sweeteners. Unfortunately, they canceled each other's expiration date and actually made it shorter than regular diet Pepsi.

Very good tutorial.

Oh dear

I feel her pain...

After my brother and I bought out first house, we were poor like churchmice for about three years. We lived on cereal, peanut butter (when it used to be cheap protein), 3/$1.00 white bread from the convenience store, chicken dogs (99¢ a pack, sometimes 2/$1.49), macaroni and cheese (store brand, 4/99¢). Lots of canned soup. Once a week I would buy chicken drumsticks, 39¢ to 49¢ a pound. Sometimes I would experiment with mystery meat. I bought a pound of 'ground chicken' for st00pid cheap. The color didn't look right, but I made spaghetti sauce, anyway.

And we wound up 'calling Ralph', just like Hazel!

Calling Ralph?

(as a sidenote, that's actually my Grandpa's & Great Grandpa's names)

Place face inside bowl for maximum reverb effect and call Ralph. Maybe he'll have sympathy for you. Probably not.

Maybe she was commiserating with this guy?

AKA Ralph the Buick salesman. "Raaaalph! Booo-ick! Oh, God! I'll never do that again! Raaalph!"

Your comment is great. XD

LOL. Thanks.

I still don't get it
Maybe I'm too young :\

It's the noises that people quite often make while throwing up.

Ugh, I don't think I could imagine that. I would get sick just cooking it.

Unfortunately it seemed to smell fine during cooking

believe me...this is nit a pretty sight.... i ate expired sausages, i didnt know they were , and the next day....never again ate that brand

A 5+ years back I ate something (I think it was beef stew maybe) and later that night it was coming out both ends simultaneously... yeah, good thing there was a trash can right in front of the toilet.

Well, you’re just gonna have to be prepared to die.

Sometimes it feels like it.

XD Poor Hazel!

Times when you're so broke, that you can't find reasonably priced groceries, when some stores should throw it away, sooner, when they do not...to the point where McDonalds is a MUCH safer choice, in comparison!

OMG! This reminds me of the Save-A-Lot in the town I used to live in. They sold "discount meat" in the back cooler (mostly steaks and pork chops). They had to coat it with red barbecue powder to disguise how grey, rubbery, and just plain nasty it looked! Then they slapped a sticker on the package that read: "Great on the Grill!"
Ugh! Just remembering it makes me wretch!
