We had great fun once moving my parents and reading the expirations on the foods we unpacked. Some of them had expired 4 years earlier. That's just nutty. If you are doing some stockpiling, make sure to rotate the stock so that it doesn't go to waste (and cause your family amusement when going through your stuff.) 
Hee, yeah we keep the stockpile rotated pretty good. I don't think I've ever had to just toss anything. Some things I've stockpiled and then realized we didn't really care for, if that happens I just send them to the food pantry in plenty of time before they're due to expire.

Nope! The Lord has always provided for me...I don't think He's going to stop because the U.S. economy is bad! After all, my Master owns everything!
That's what I said recently to my former employer (a Christian) and she looked at me like I was out of my mind.

BTW- we did the stockpile thing for Y2K and all we wound up with was a bunch of extra foods, etc.
We wound up donating lots of canned goods, dried goods, health & beauty stuff to the local homeless shelter.
About 3 years later my soon-to-be-ex was laid off. He didn't even look for work for 18 months. Times got tough, but we never did without.

I'm pretty much posting blind......
But on my last 4 trips to the grocery store (either Wal-mart or Kroger), they've been out of whole wheat flour. Not one bag. I can't remember what Wal-mart has raised their price to, but Kroger is up to $5.29/5lb bag - if you can find one in stock, that is.
It's frustrating.

Being prepared is one thing - but going overboard and buying up large amounts of food that could likely go to waste should no major shortage occur is silly and wasteful in my opinion.
I will agree with ya there. I do stock up, but again, it's more because I hate to shop, which means I don't go to the store again until the shelves are getting empty. I can't remember ever having to throw anything away because it was old/spoiled/buggy or whatever. If you are going to stock large amounts - and I know people who do - then stock the things you normally eat and rotate your stock.
