[QUOTE="BadgeBunny, post: 2132510, member: 1242"] I'd open up some of Wise's stuff and try it before you buy a lot. They seem to rely heavily on sugar and salt. I know that their "Maple and Brown Sugar Oatmeal" packet that is supposed to feed 4 people has to have another cup of rolled oats added to it before it's not too syrupy sweet to eat for us and to be enough for more than the two of us. Granted, everyone tastes are different, so it might be okay to you. I do buy Wise stuff, but mostly to use for the flavorings. I always add more of the main "filler", if you will, like rice or oats or pasta to the package. That way, I can either use the extra for leftovers the next day (or mix in the extra cup or two and then only cook half of that and save the other half for another time). Yep. We regularly eat canned goods (and pasta and packaged side dishes, like Lipton, for that matter) that are 3 and 4 years past their "use by" or "date canned" date. Our "pantry" is a spare bedroom that is much cooler than the rest of the house and stays dark, except for when I'm in there looking for something. Windows and vents are covered in the winter, when the heater is on. Just windows are covered in the summer. I don't think it ever gets above 55-60 degrees in there, even on the hottest summer days. Neighbor's gigantic oak tree keeps that corner of the house in deep shade all day. [/QUOTE]
