We don't have a thread on this that I saw. Post what does and doesn't work. I have seen some of this sprinkled around in other discussions. Such as rotation systems physical shelves as well as lists.
What gave me the idea was eating some of our mistakes. Canned food past it's "best by" dates. We moved and had things in more than one geographical location. So far I can say beef stew 2 years past it's prime was fine. A Dak ham 7 years past it's prime was edible but as a last resort. I have been kinda exploring the boundaries a bit.
One current thing we do is mark the expiration date on the front of the can with a sharpie. That helps a bunch. We also use can FIFO racks designed for soda. We don't buy soda anymore but they work for most canned goods.
