Food Expiration Dates Clarified

How many times have you gone to your refrigerator or pantry to get an ingredient just to find that it's past or approaching the expiration date? I know I've done this many times. I hate getting rid of food that is past the expiration date. It's such a waste of money (and food).

This morning on the Today Show they had a Rossen Report on this very subject, Confusing sell-by dates on food may be costing you money. Check it out... it's enlightening. Apparently most foods will last longer than we think. However the exceptions are meat and diary. Either way, it was helpful information for me and I thought I'd pass it along!

Getting the Best Bang for Your Buck

I was watching the Today Show this morning. They had a segment on about How to keep back-to-school shopping bills low. Since I don't have kids, those who know me probably think this is strange that I would care about this, but let me tell you it's got some great information about places to find money saving tips for everyone. If you didn't see the segment, check it out. After all, who doesn't want to get the best bang for your buck!

I'm sure LeAnn has some other tips to share since she just did back-to-school shopping and college shopping. :)
