What have you got in your cupboards that rarely, if ever get used?

[Bretrick]

I have a 500 gram container of salt which I bought more than 5 years ago.
Sugar which was bought 2 years ago?
Medicine Cabinet, Rectinol, use by 2008
Does salt have a use by/Best Before date?

Bread maker. I lost a good one in a divorce eons ago. The new one was never as good and I just didn't want to keep trying them until I found a winner.

To clarify: I'm talking about appliances there.

I have 5 pounds of rice flour in my freezer that I bought back when there was a shortage on regular flour.

No! Say it ain't so!

Whole cloves from 1980 something. They still smell great, but I'm not going to eat them.

I have a frozen food defrosting tray which I bought about 25 years ago.. probably used it 2 or 3 times.., it was one of the first and it's quite bulky compared to more modern ones...it sits on top of the kitchen cabinet

My mom and I went to a 80% off sale.
It’s had a lot of use earlier in my life when I had lots of friends and was single. Now it rarely gets used. My mom bought the same set. Someday I’ll sell it or hand it down to my niece.

I’ve got a small bottle of whole cloves and use them maybe once or twice a year.

Hmmm... expected a lot but sadly disappointed then.

Flour sifter (mainly just use a wire strainer now)

Italian bread crumbs... no matter what good intentions I have, I can never get through a container before they go bad =(

Gift them to the Salvos

Nothing because if I don’t use something I donate it. We have a small soup kitchen that will even take open containers as long as it’s not expired. They feed men in their shelters twice daily.

 

[Ruthanne]

A big can of diced tomatoes I had forgotten about, corn starch that probably needs replacing, 2 cans green beans, straws, dried peas, lentils and beans, spaghetti, tuna and a few cream soups. There's more but I don't feel like getting up and looking.

 

[Katherine]

I rarely use my Flour and baking powder !

Red cabbage! For some reason it was always on the Christmas food shop list and yet, no one actually liked it

Stopped needing them. Wife is 79 now & no chance of getting pregnant.

As this salad red cabbage goes great with any protein.

That does sound nice, thank you. I am sure there's a jar or two hidden at the back of the cupboard

I'd have to say that few items which ran foul of expiry dates way too often were "food colouring" small bottles.

As I don't bake from scratch much for about 4 years now, I've cleared the last and haven got new ones yet. Not even vanilla!
