How many do you have in your fridge?
I realized today that I never pay attention to the expiration dates on salad dressings. We have about 8 of them in our fridge. I was making a chicken wrap today and reached for the ranch. Much to my chagrin, it went bad last month. I therefore had to use the fat free ranch... yuck. Anyway, I got curious and started looking through the other dressings and found one that expired last February! Whew... glad a I looked before feeding that one to my hubby!

I no longer let us have more than 3 or 4 on hand because a few months ago I had to throw out at least 3. I hope I never become like my parents and make my children fear eating anything from the fridge thinking it might have expired years earlier. :)

At first I thought you were talking about beers and thinking "too few" but I guess I do have a lot of salad dressing.

I'm such a freak about expiration labels. I seriously go through our fridge weekly throwing away stuff that's within a few days of expiration. If it expires on the 18th it's gotta leave on the 16th... I just can't bring myself to eat it.
