Getting Your Favorite Condiments
Condiments are a terrific way to add taste to your meals while also potentially providing health advantages. But storing up tons of huge bottles and jars of condiments is not a good idea. Those big jars of your favorite dips and sauces may not stay good as long as you had hoped. You may keep ketchup at the back of your cupboard for around a year after purchasing it, but once it’s opened, it only lasts six months before discoloring or losing its flavor (or molding?).

Mayonnaise has a three- to six-month shelf life, but as soon as you break the seal and start spreading it, you’ll have two months left. Pickles may be stored in the pantry for up to a year, but once opened, they should be used within one to three months. Will all of those extra-large containers fit in your fridge? Before you go running to Costco to shop for condiments, be sure you’ve thought about this.
