It’s something that when you start to think of foods from a wholesome nutritious perspective, you start to look at your pantry a lot differently. And really if you think about it, when something is not there you can’t eat it.

Yes, time to move them on. It’s not to say you won’t ever eat them again. It just gives you the option to be selective about when you bring them into your home. Best of luck cleaning your pantry out.
