How Fresh is the Food in Your Fridge??

I know I'm as guilty as anyone. I actually found stuff in my fridge that's been at least one-two years old (mainly stale condimints). I even have the 'W" Ketchup that's made in America from 2004 when George W Bush won (uhh stole) the election. just kidding he won it fair and square. My worst thing is frozen foods - never quite sure how long that frozen ground beef is good for. Although it's refreshing to know that the spam I bought is good for 3 more years. Also thought beer would last longer than 4 months...need some help to kill the St. Arnold's Divine reserve I have.
