I'll want a PB&J and buy some jam or jelly and then not want it again for a while so they go bad. With bread, I've learned to buy Pepperidge Farm, which never seems to get moldy. Also Heidelberg White is the same way. I've given up on yogurt because it seems to go bad in a few days, replacing it with kefir, which keeps in the fridge for several weeks. It's supposed to be good till the sell-by date even after opening.

Thanks for info on kefir. And yes, white bread will last longer than any 'whole-grain' or multigrain bread. eppur_se_muova Aug 4 #13
