I just came back to reread this thread after getting really frustrated about not being able to throw away 2.5 year old food I don't want and which was probably expired when I bought it. I finally did it, but what on earth is wrong with me that it's so hard to get rid of something so unnecessary???

I hadn't heard of churning, but I do that too. By the time I find the box of stuff I was going to get rid of, it's like finding all new treasures. I don't want to get rid of it anymore. I try to just go straight to the trash can instead of doing donation boxes now.
