Thanks for that. We buy the foil packages of taco sauce and other seasonings. They last indefinitely. So one day I came home to find that my cleaning lady had tossed all of them with expred dates on them. Must have thrown out $30 worth!! She was trying to help me stay organized...so I never said anything, but geeze, Louise! So thanks for this! I"m sending it to her. Now that I'm retired, no cleaning lady, so no worries about the foil seasoning packets.
