What is the shelf life of the original flavored Spam?

SPAM is incredibly shelf stable. It can and will last for years, past the freshness date on the can. I know of a person in 2021 who opened and ate a can of SPAM whose 'best by' date was... 1995. He said it tasted exactly like every other can of SPAM he had eaten. SPAM tastes great and will last for years.

What am I missing? Over $9.00 for a 12 oz can of Spam??

I was wondering the same thing - what am I missing? Spam is never this high for one!

How can I be assured that the product is fresh and not approaching it's 'sell by' date?

It's spam! The expiration/best by/sell by dates are almost always much later on - at the very least 1-2 years. Obviously, this does not apply to every single can; but from my experience, you would have significantly sufficient time before the can approaches any of those dates. And hey: Worse comes to worst, you can return them if you do not like the nearness of the expiration/best by/sell by dates. P.S. To Fenrir and the other, unnamed person who commented below on this product question thread on 12/15/2020 and 08/29/2016 respectively: Are you guys okay lol? A customer asked a likely simple question that he/she did not know the answer to themselves, yet you both proceeded to comment rudely lol. If you are getting upset enough to call someone an idiot, ask "what's wrong with you" and all else - just for a question as simple, elementary, and uncomplicated as this one - then I highly suggest seeing someone about that. :)
