What's something you buy, but you know you're unlikely to use it all? [View all]

For my wife and I, it's that jar of Miracle Whip mentioned in Deb's Miracle Whip versus mayonnaise thread. We need it for the occasional egg salad or tuna salad sandwich, but we rarely get through 2/3 of the jar before we're well beyond the best before date.

Another one would be a block of cheese. By week three or beyond, we're battling with the mold on the outside, slicing it off until the battle is finally lost. We rarely use an entire block of cheese before we have to toss some of it.
