How do you know when something is too freezer burned to eat? I tend to error on the "better throw it out" side, but then feel terrible for wasting something. I try not to let things get lost in the freezer, but we all know that happens to everyone. I know the "experts" say to keep meat in the freezer no longer than about 90 days or so -- I'm not sure who made up that rule and whether it's really valid or not.

I have one for each shelf of the freezer, when anything goes in I write it on the white board, when something comes out I take it off. Not only do I not forget things are there, but I also save electricity by not standing there with the door open staring to see what I have.

I usually do the grocery shopping on Mondays but last week, I didn't have to go grocery shopping until Thursday!
