Said it before, but saying it again in case anyone is wary of that one
pound package of SAF Instant: It can last a very long time past it's pull
date.

I don't bake yeasted doughs as often as I'd like to, so i have it around
for a long, long time. In 2002 one of my sisters gave me an unopened 1
pound package of SAF Instant that expired in 2001. It went straight into an
airtight glass container in the freezer. It's 2005 now and I'm down to the
last 4 ounces or so, and it's still working just fine.
