But you could use the price on the item as a rough kind of "product date",
back in the days when they didn't have product dates! ;-) If it was 29 cents
for that item, I must have bought it in 1983.

The other kind of product dating I have (though not on food items) is the
brand name. If it's from Peoples Drug, it had to be before year X, and if
it's from Hechingers, it must be before year Y. Peoples was acquired by CVS
and Hechingers declared bankruptcy.
