Terrible to have food so far out of date

I would give it zero stars but that is not possible. The product came with a due date of FEB09 - 6 years past. Terrible to have food so far out of date.

Unfortunate that this is an out of date travel guide and not something more robust.  I would not recommend to add this to your cook book or travel guide collections.

Just opened up package and the product is stale. I can not return to Amazon because I exceeded the 30 day return window by 23 days.
It's understandable however I didn't need to open the package before now since I had my other stock. It may have been in the warehouse for a long time and it would make sense to take it back.
I would even exchange for one that is not old tasting. I will have to throw this away.
A total waste of money.

I should have paid more attention to the 1980 published date! I would never go by recipes that old. How tastes and healthy cooking has evolved and this book doesn't go by today's more health conscious standards. It's going to the Goodwill store soon.
The book did arrive on time and in very good condition.

Prior to most Everything Edible brought in and heated up again or packed and refrigerated in smaller sizes~I prepared the Foods. From Bicuits to Cole~Slaw, to Fried Extra Crispy, I Baked/Cooked from mostly Scratch. This is a "primer" on those days. I really do not like the New KFC's. They were the first in Our Area to create a Chicken Sandwich.{Chic~Fil~A didn't exist yet in Area}.If You want a gander and do not know Anyone from those days of the 1970's,purchase. Amazon and Partners did a great job of Pristine Book and releasing a title I never believed would occur. Will not give Any Secrets Away. Honour.

The best by date is past by 2 months!!
Not eligible for return?  This is stealing and selling potentially bad food products!!  Shoppers beware!!

This bottle was dated Best Before 02/28/2018.
Why would they ship me a bottle that recently expired?  I realize it can be used for awhile; but I don't use this every day, and, have no idea how long it will last.
Didnt realize it couldn't be returned.
I love the taste of this product and this brand is okay. The 1 star is for the dirty trick of shipping me an outdated food item.

Bought this used but it was suppose to be in very good shape.  Had food on cover.  I have been wanting this cookbook for a long time and I like the cookbook but tend to not use it because of the condition.  Disappointed.

I was looking for a replacement for my 1981 hard bound edition since the most used sections were missing because they fell out of the book.  I was excited to see a Kindle version so I could take the cookbook wherever I go.  Our favorite recipe was the banana bread so I searched for it right away.  Unfortunately I had a hard time finding it;(. The search returned 6 results and I had to go through all 6 to find a recipe(it's easier to find a recipe on Food Network website and it's free!).  Then I was disappointed because they updated the recipe;( it wasn't the one I was looking I had made that my family loved.  So Buyer Beware if you want the old recipes this book is not for you!  I'm going now to buy a used copy from a book reseller now.

I have been getting this food for over a year and this last time it had a terrible order. Anyone else experience this??

A big let-down. I happily bought the "New Joy of Cooking", figuring my old sauce-speckled copy could use an update. When I got the new one home, I found that it had been yuppiefied! Recipes for tzimmes,  whatever they are. And tea eggs. And pork satay.  No more "Supper and  Buffet Dishes".  No instructions on freezing food!  No section for  vegetarian dishes. And woe betide us, no "Fudge Pie", the most  begrimed and be-chocolated page in my old "Joy". My advice, buy  the earlier edition, and give this one a pass.

This is my first time ordering bread in a can. I had a hard time fathoming the though but it sounded like a great prepper item and because many customers in the comments noted a 3 year expiration date from when they received their bread, I decided to give it a try. Well I received my order yesterday and immediately found the expiration date stamped on the cans were March 2019, 15 months from now.  Extremely disappointed.  I definitely feel like I was given the bottom of the barrel, their old stuff.  Thanks a lot B&M. =(

I just reordered a bag a few days ago. I've never had any issues before but this bag is way out of date. The best if used by date is 7/9/17. It'll be fed to the wild birds and I will order directly from the manufacturer again from now on. The food is great! My four parakeets do very well on this food and are healthy and active. I've been feeding it for years.  No added sugars or colors first caught my attention and the continued good health of the birds kept me coming back.

Had to check publish date, thought I'd gone back to the 70s there for a minute.  Some decent recipes in there if you can wade through the writing.

These guides are the first thing I purchase before planning a vacation. I find them to be an invaluable source of information and resources. However, the information regarding the exhibit at the National Geographic Society was seriously out of date. The exhibit, touted in the guidebook as being a special draw for kids hasn't been there in 6, count them SIX years. The employees staffing the information desk told us they had repeatedly emailed and written the authors asking that the error be corrected, all to no avail. This was especailly irksome since this museum was off the beaten path AND the edition I had and the edition from 2002 that I found at a Smithsonian bookstore all contained that outdated information. I know I should have called ahead. I also know that after six years and repeated attempts from the staff, that the problem should have been fixed.

I just opened my bag and these taste very very old and stale. I want to return, especially given that the expiration date is October of 2018. Return window says expired. What gives. These were packed so tight that may even have been vacuum packed. I don't recall. Ive poured out maybe 1/4 cup. I put 1 Star only bcs I have to submit a choice.
