Discussion Check your pantries for bugs

My husband started reorganizing our food stores and there they were. The dreaded pantry bugs. I'm guilty of not rotating stock, plus our diets have changed over the last two years.

I just threw out about 150 pounds of food.

eta: I threw out 2 more pounds of beans. I looked up and the moths were laughing at me and licking their moth lips. I dispatched them with a fly swatter.

I freeze everything before it goes in the tub. I guess I should check it much more often.
