I just went through one of my 72 hour kits (from the big batch we did last Spring), and I noticed a lot of things are beginning to expire. Susan reminded us to replenish our kits a few weeks ago. I went ahead and made note of everything that is expiring as well as what is not expiring (some dates may vary a bit from kit to kit), so it will make it easier to replenish. Expired items are in red:
Day One:
Breakfast: Peaches (04/05/13), Boost (12/19/12)
Lunch/Snack: Vfusion (08/05/12), Peaches (12/20/12), chocolate cookies (no exp. date found), Protein Bar (08/19/12), Fruit Snacks (09/07/12), Peanuts (10/30/12)
Dinner: V-fusion (09/16/12), Beans & Weiners (12/04/13), Fruit Snacks (09/07/12), Trail Mix (12/26/12)
Day Two:
Breakfast: Boost (11/03/12), Fruit Snacks (09/07/12), Trail Mix (12/26/12), Peanut Butter crackers (no exp. date found),
Lunch/Snack: Fruitables drink (01/08/13), Fruit roll-up (no exp. date found), Tuna package (09/01/14), Cheez-it (no exp. date found)
Dinner: Ravioli Chef Boyrdee (2013), Fig Newtons (2/29/12- this may be manufacture date?), crunchy granola bar (01/14/13),
Day Three:
Breakfast: Peaches (04/05/13), Boost (12/12/12)
Lunch/Snack: Animal crackers (no exp. date found), Fruitables drink (01/04/13), Jiff to go (12/09/12), Salted Peanuts (10/30/12), Fruit Snacks (09/07/12)
Dinner: Baked Beans (10/2014), V-8 Fusion (08/05/12), Peanut Butter crackers (no exp. date found), Fruit roll-up (no exp. date found),.
If you want to know what you need to buy to replenish at this point, use this shopping list:
Day 1: V-fusion x2, fruit cup, protein bar, fruit snacks x2, peanuts.
Day 2: Boost, fruit snacks, fig newtons.
Day 3: Peanuts, fruit snacks, V-fusion
Hope this is helpful :), Anna

ReplyDeleteAnna,
ReplyDeleteFrom experience you'll need to change your crackers also. They have oil in them and will go rancid or stale. I always try to change my 72hr kits around Conference weekend. That way, I don't forget to do it. Thought this might help.
