When the holidays arrive, it's difficult to keep track of food expiration dates. Rather than relying on the date on the package, make a note of when you open something. Sometimes it may last years unopened, but only a few days/weeks/months once it is unsealed. For instance, if it's a jar of mayonnaise, write the date on the lid.
