1st i hope this is in the correct location.
2nd i ask bare with me on this
i use to buy the 14.5 oz can's of vegetables. then switched to the 8oz cans when my mom passed away seeing how that's the best route for me to take.then due to a tight budget.i go to the local food pantry.where I've ended up with 14.5oz cans of green beans.then i got some from a neighbor. now I'm wondering.is it a good or bad idea to recan them? on account i don't eat them very often.and im thinking that they might last longer this way.what do yall think?
