really old canned food begins to taste really tinny.

If you have too much canned food to eat in rotation, or some slip through the cracks and got really old, consider keeping meat animals of some kind and feed the expired food to them.

So 2020 was another year (the fourth in about 20 years for me) where I had been alarmed enough by the ‘state of things’ to go and fill my pantry up with food items to feed my family and I for some unknown period of time. 
Well, some of that food is probably expired by now. And no, unfortunately I did not rotate through it like I probably should have. But honestly I was mostly paralyzed by the thought that ‘any day now, it’s all gonna shut down and we’ll have to hunker down’.
Well it’s been a significant amount of time since all of that food was stashed away. So I should probably go take inventory and throw some of that food out.
No I don’t have any expensive prepper foods that last forever (can’t afford those) it’s just basics I got at the grocery store. But it’s still a bit of a loss considering it was at one time ‘good’ food.

What have some of you done with your pantry and stocked shelves?
You have to rotate your food. If your cans ate from 2020 they are probably fine. From now on use tbe old stuff first.

Be sure to check your peanut butter; it will go rancid
Peanut butter powder is widely available.

Peanut butter powder is widely available.
Bean powder is also available and if you've ever attempted to cook very old beans, you know why they are a good idea. (They don't soften up, even with soaking and extra long cooking.)
