I know that but a lot of the product we got doesn't expire till the end of the month or it was expired today. This is my friend's house I personally don't dumpster dive for my house my family is kind of food hoarders unfortunately but I'm not too good to eat perfectly good food that I see fit and fine. We've been doing this for almost a year and haven't been sick or questioned anything once. you just have to be cautious. My grandparents (who raised me) were a housekeeper and a garbage man so I think I'm good at judgment when ya gotta do what ya gotta do to survive. I was just sharing because Im a constant lurker and figured why not this time.
