Stockpiling Timeline List

By -
One thing we teach in Tupperware is food storage! How long can something last in your freezer, cupboard and fridge - and then, how much MORE longer it will last when stored properly!

This is a basic list of time lines for your pantry items, keep in mind that Shelf lives listed are for unopened products stored in a cool, dry environment and are commercially canned, bottled, or packaged. Dates are approximate and may vary by brand. Always look at the product’s Best By or Use By date and discard any food that exhibits a change in odor, color, or taste. Once products are opened, shelf life decreases substantially.
