Its coffee time.
Well coffee really made my day here at the office.
I used to have coffee in the morning and in the afternoon here at work.
I enjoy working in from of my compute while sipping coffee.
Oops,I didn't notice that my instant coffee will be expire by next month.Good thing that I already used it today or else it might be a waste.I really look for the expiration date of the things that I buy all the time to make sure.
Do you look the expiration date of the products that you buy?
Do still look for the expiration before using or consuming the products?

hi there ardoy0731.
not much of a coffee drinker but the coffee machine here at work is great and top-notch so the coffee is very good. its as if, it was brewed in those fancy coffee shops. lol! i kid you not!!!
anyway, back to the discussion on hand, i always check the expiration dates of the products before i consume these. better to be safe than sorry. same thing with medicines. expiration dates are there for a purpose and to neglect it is a big no-no.
cheers and happy mylotting!!!

hi ardoy0731.
yes, the coffee machine is indeed good. free coffee is one of the perks in this company. anyway, perhaps, you can persuade your hr department to provide a coffee machine for you guys.
as for expiration dates, i've had my share of experiences with products way past its expiration date and those experiences are not well.

Sometimes when i buy products from the supermarket where there are a lot of buyers, i don't look at the expiration dates anymore.
Though as to breads, yes i do take note of the expiration dates, because sometimes a loaf of sliced bread would take us two days before it could be completely consumed. So, it has to be that the expiration date will be in 3 or 4 days more.

Yes, when it comes to things that we ingest, we must be careful to take a look at their expiration dates. Ingesting expired products can harm our body.

I used to see the expiration dates of the products that I buy but there are still times that I forget it especially when I am in a hurry.
In terms of bread or fresh products I am really quite meticulous to avoid harmful effects in our health.

I don't think coffee expires really. By law, the manufacturer of the product has to put an expiration date on it. But I think you'd be safe to continue to use it until you run out.
Gosh, I haven't had a cup of coffee in over four years. Last time I tried a sip or so, it make me so shaky that I threw it out. I used to drink a potful per day. Getting old sure changes habits.

Yeah I heard it to some people too but I still scare to consume expired products due to some possible effects that runs in my mind.

Ardoy, i always prefer to look at the expiration date in all the food and drinks that i want to consume. Even i make sure that the quantity of dry food and packets of drinks that i purchase would be used-up before the expire date. I seldom want to use any product that their expire date is near the corner. Especially in biscuits and packet drinks, the taste and color would change if the expire date is near the corner. Now, i also teach my grandmother to learn to look out for the expire date before consuming any of those dry food. Not forgetting the medicines as well.

Checking the expiration dates are really impiortant to avoid harmful effects on our health. And we better buy things that we can consume to avoid wasting money when we dont used it on time.

For me, I will typically pay attention to the expiration dates on perishable foods, but I really don't pay all that much attention to the expiration dates on foods that are more of the nonperishable variety. The reason that I don't really pay attention to these dates on the nonperishable foods is because of the fact that they don't actually go bad on the date that is listed on them, but the quality might be a little less than it was before the expiration date.

Yeah the quality maybe be less and we don't know if there is any effect on us so better check the expiration dates most of time for sure and safety reason.Just for safety reason for our own good.

Oh no, don't let that coffee expire!!!! LOL! Yes, I do check on the expiration dates of whatever I buy, especially food and medicines or vitamins. We all want products that are just newly processed or prepared and usually the closer it is to the expiration date means it's been collecting dust somewhere in storage.
I do heard some folks here that buys food and stuff that are already expired at 50% its retails price from sidewalk vendors. That's just nasty.

I watched is one documentary about people who buy expired products in very low cost.
They said that there still no side and bad effect on them that is why they keep on buying.
For me, its there choice but definitely I wont but those expired products even in a very low cost to avoid any bad effects in our health after.

Good thing that you are really conscious about it.
It is really important to check expiration of the products that we buy for health purposes and at the same time to avoid wasting money.
