ps, now of course I don't advice to eat molded products, but a little dry mold on cheese, bread or veggies is not so bad, just cut it off and the rest is still useable..I would never ever do that with meat though..I'm extremely careful when it comes to meat.

I absolutely agree!  I trim ordinary dry mold on certain things too, especially cheese.  I know some people who are horrified by this, in fact, I know a lady who will go to the store daily and only buy enough of anything to last ONE day because she's sure it will spoil and kill her.  I was afraid to tell her about how long things sit at the grocery store!  (I used to work at a major store so yes, I know) 

As Astrid said, I'd never do this on meat or on anything canned, or 'wet' in the fridge like say… applesauce that sits in the fridge too long or, well, just anything 'wet'.  But on bread, cheese, or paring the bad parts off of a fresh veggie or fruit, no problem. 

I use it quickly then, find something to use it in, cook it up, or eat it up fast, but I learned this from both my grandmothers, and my own mother.  We've always been careful but frugal. We've also been very healthy thank you very much!
