This week we wasted 1/2 pound of baby carrots and one large can of tomato sauce.
I found the carrots when putting away groceries, and they were so beyond gross, I threw them away before I could take a picture.
Tonight I was putting away some canned tomatoes that I bought, so I decided to rotate my dwindling stock. I found a 28 oz. can of tomato sauce that had a use by date of February 2009. I guess I better start rotating my stock more!
This week's waste = 1.40
Waste since February 1st = $56.88

I'm actually surprised you threw out the tomatoes. Canned foods have an indefinite shelf life if stored at moderate temperatures (75 F or below). After an extended period of time you may notice a change of color or texture, but the safety and nutritional value are unaffected.
