Ok, so my son LOVES hot dogs more than anything. However, we only cook brats and hot dogs maybe once a week at most, and more realistically once every two weeks. So when I open a pack of hot dogs and only pull out 2 to cook up, the other ones sit in the fridge for weeks possibly. However the package always seems to state to use within 7 days of opening. Is this realistic? Aren't these things pumped full of salt? I feel like it's a huge waste if I have to chuck the rest of the hot dog package if I don't use them within a week....but it's also cumbersome to break out the food vacuum and just seal up two hot dogs at a time to stick in freezer. We used to be able to find individually wrapped hot dogs, but our store doesn't carry them anymore. Any thoughts on the matter? Thanks.
