Foods You Can Safely Eat Past Their Expiration Date

If you like food and a good bargain, there’s probably nothing you hate more than an expiration date. It’s a number that essentially tells you that you were to late in eating that delicious food, which automatically means you have to chuck it in the bin.

Rejoice, citizens, for there’s a list of foods below where you can safely ignore the printed expiration date and trust your nose and/or eyes!

Cereal

If you don’t open the box, you can easily keep cereal for up to six months past its printed expiration date. It’s the perfect apocalypse food!

Prepackaged Food

I mean, it’s usually sealed pretty shut so it’ll last a lot longer than leaving it out in the open. If it looks like you can eat it and it’s still bagged, you can probably still eat it.

Bread

There’s big visual cue here: if it’s green, don’t eat it. If it’s not green, go ahead. It’s that easy.
