Just in case something bad happens in the world, I keep a stash of, "survival food," under my bed. This includes things like canned tuna, canned chilly, and canned fruit cocktail. Nothing really bad has happened yet, and all of these cans have, "use by" dates. Would it be wrong to whip up some tuna casserole for a date using this food? (None of it is expired, but it's close.)

Just don't do it.
If a crisis happens soon, you're going to be kicking yourself for the brief(er) amount of time you have left because you used your rations on a date.
And if you are trying to impress her by using emergency rations, she's either going to:
a) Not be a survivalist who wonders why you're cheap.
b) Be a survivalist who wonders why you're wasting valuable supplies.
c) Be a romantic who thinks, "Oh, he's giving up his survival rations just to feed me." which is all well and good until a crisis shows up and her romance becomes absolutely useless in the bunker.

With every day pass, our country is getting into more and more trouble. The inflation, unemployment and falling value of dollar are the main concern for our Government but authorities are just sleeping, they don’t want to face the fact. Media is also involve in it, they are force to stop showing the real economic situation to the people. I start getting more concern about my future as well as my family after watching the response of our Government for the people that affected by hurricane Katrina.
According to recent studies made by World Bank, the coming crisis will be far worse than initially predicted. So if you're already preparing for the crisis (or haven't started yet) make sure you watch this video at http://www.familysurvival.tv and discover the 4 BIG issues you'll have to deal with when the crisis hits, and how to solve them fast (before the disaster strikes your town!) without spending $1,000s on overrated items and useless survival books.

How will your date even know unless you pull the covers up and announce you made supper from the stuff under the bed? You don't have to share ever detail of your existence with people. Place the can goods in a box so they aren't obvious, cook the supper and act like you just bought it. No problem. Learning to wear a casual smile and not share too much information about yourself is one of the keys to succeeding. Honestly, it is and this is a good example.

Go for it. Lots of people keep that junk in their cupboards, so what's wrong with eating it if it hasn't expired? FYI, these types of things are usually okay even after the expiration date for a while. Better than throwing it away, since you're going to have to do a stock rotation of sorts under your bed soon anyway.

Doesn't sound like the types of foods you would normally serve on a date...
You can go ahead and rotate these items out with fresher items in the pantry, or make a meal with them and replace them with new items from the store, since they have not yet expired. If you have roommates, perhaps you could share a meal with them. But it's definitely not the type of food I would suggest trying to dazzle a date with!

Eat the stuff yourself. Nobody has tuna noodle casserole with a date. It would be like staying home and watching the Young and the Restless instead of going to the movies.

I wonder... does your date know you have a stash of survival food under your bed? If she does‘nt, be careful when you tell her, it may scare the living hell out of her,
And I don‘t think it matters if you use a tuna can from under your bed or from the kitchen. Same thing.
