I try to ease their embarrassment by saying that the dates on their tins are new, compared to some of mine.
I'm amazed at how many tins of tomatoes people buy, then give away. Next most common item are peach slices.
I must have a look for recipes that need tinned tomatoes - I don't often use them either.

Wish I was closer. I’d help you out with the tinned tomatoes.   . Use them at least twice a week. Because of the amount of chill, curry & spaghetti bologna’s we eat.   . All of which can be made very quickly and mild for those with low heat tolerance and all veggie     . Just chuck a load of veggies in a pan and your tin of tomatoes (chopped, if they’re not already) some spices a bit of veg stock. No need for measuring anything (wing it ) Leave it to simmer for half hour at least. Serve with rice, chips, jacket spud, any sort of flatbread. Done. Make big batch. Meal for several days. If you’ve got carried away with the spices add yogurt to cool it ( if your spaghetti bologna’s is spicy, you’ve done something wrong   )
