As I said, I always buy the 30oz jar on sale. I DO use that up long
before it would go bad but I am wondering now how often I need to
replace it. I KNOW it's at least once every 2 months if not one month.

I don't make a lot of mayo based salads. I don't ever make mac salad
or potato salad. I do sometimes make egg salad for sandwiches but not
so often.

Anyway, I am writing down each use. I'm also curious to see just what
I use mayo for and how much.

The 30oz jar is cheaper per ounce but it is annoying when you get low
and have to reach way down in the jar with a spoon. Even with a long
spoon, my hand always hits the rim and gets mayo debris (heheh) on it.
