"reminder triggers on/at:
(begin date/time) - (reminder value) [snip]
Set reminder maybe to 2,3 days, so that you get reminded 2,3 days before you'll be out of dog food. But as you just approximating that your dog food is going to last a month, the reminder can be set just to zero, cause it makes no difference really.
OK, thanks. I know I asked about his before.
I needed to confirm start date (not start time) was necessary for any future reminders, i.e. reminder or recurring. You've confirmed that.

However, here's what 'bothers' me. As soon as I set a begin time, an automated reminder time of 15 minutes is set so it looks to me that pending becomes 15 minutes before current date or now.

I do know I can set recurring to zero & that settles the problem but I find this a bit 'confusing'.

Thank you for your help.
