Did you snag some discounted candy this week? Before you add it to your jar to vacuum seal it, you need to add one quick step. This tool makes it SUPER easy!
Actually very few products other than meats have expiration dates any more. They’ve been replaced with “best buy” dates. Instead of going bad, the quality decreases over time. I add a baseline of 1 year. It all depends on the product and how’s it’s stored. Some of the products I sealed will go for 25 years. Others have multiple ingredients and last only a year or two. Generally whole ingredient foods like rice, beans, and salt can last decades.
You can vacuum seal it but only until the expiration date. It will keep bugs and critters out. It’s a step up from the original packaging. I wish it would extend it but sadly, nope. It’ll only last until the date printed on the bag.
I found this video very informative & useful. Thank you!
Thanks for watching!!
Thanks so much. I would never have known most of this.❤
You never know when you’ll need a little chocolate!
Thank you Deb for a very helpful video. May I ask about the expiration date? Is there a rule of thumb? That's why you added a year??
