Keep or toss?

Should I keep or toss

Applesauce in a big jar, open for a month or two now? (Is it like a condiment, ok to keep for months, or a food, to toss in a few days?)
Pies from Butlers Orchard, in the fridge for a week now?

Thanks.

Look to see if there's any mold. If not, take a whiff. If no funky odor, take a small taste - spit it out if it tastes funny. If it passes those tests, I guess you could keep it.

Applesauce 7-10 days

Make sure you look in the lid of the applesauce jar for mold. I would def. toss it after a month even without visible mold though -- there is nothing grosser than eating something and getting a mild taste of mold. After a month, you know it's in there.

I would eat the pies.

Thanks. So if applesauce is 7-10 days, do you just buy smaller jars? My kids went through a jar every few days over the winter and spring, and now they don't touch it.

I usually only buy the single serve cups of applesauce.

Buy more cake. It's always in between "keep or toss".
