    So I wanted a couple of instant soups

    I usually buy mushroom and/or pea. Add some protein mix and it makes a tasty filling soup.

    Went to the makolet and was told they were out of date.

    Yah what? Dehydrated soup powder packets out of date?

    Ahem.

    Guess who was given a hundred of thousands [OK I exaggerate a bit] rather tasty packs of various flavours of instant soups, a rather a lot of containers of noodle and rice wotsits - just one week out of date?

    One week out of date and I should argue?

    My cupboard is full of out of date dried pasta & rice, but its ok as my dogs don't know they are out of date & my little nephews & nieces love making pictures with them.

    Nice one Malka! I am always letting tins and dehydrated stuff go out of date, we eat it regardless and have never had any ill effects.

    Yes but - I rarely use tinned stuff and it lasts for yonks - but I do like the dehydrated mushroom soup with some powdered protein added. Rarely buy noodle wotsits but it is always useful for emergencies - especially when they do not cost anything.

    So - I now have a problem in that I do not have any more cupboard space.

    Should be fine - bargain !

    When you say 'out of date' is it past the 'use by' date or the 'best before' date. Either way it'll be perfectly ok

    Who cares. Actually about a week either out of date or best before, and I always add some protein powder [either hemp or pea] and for what they cost, ie nothing, who is going to argue?
