<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>We must be very bad parents here. When we
lived in Missouri and were barely making ends meet on an E-5's salary but had
two kids, three hounds, a cat and numerous foster dogs, I shopped at a little
store in town called "Salvage Grocery." Were it not for that place, we'd
never have had enough food on our table. Fast forward to present day and I
still scour the "scratch and dent" section of the commissary---even
with our Soldier Daddy an E-8Promotable. I know all of that is
safe because it has to be inspected and dated before they're allowed to offer it
to the public. Our kids have never been sick other than head colds.
Our dogs, the ones who ate the canned food, were gettting it to keep them eating
after cancer diagnoses late in life.</FONT></DIV>

<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>I've bought lots of dented dog food cans at the
commissary because they're all as a result of cans falling when the shelves are
being stocked. (Shoot--I dropped them myself when loading mycart!)
It's <STRONG><EM>bulging </EM></STRONG>cans you really have to worry about;
those are the ones where something is growing inside (salmonella, botulism,
etc...)</FONT></DIV>
