Do you check the expiry date of shampoo before you buy it?

The other day I spotted a sale for the shampoo that I used. I grabbed hold of three bottles, and paid for them. It was as good as getting the third bottle free. When I was walking out of the supermarket, I met a friend who immediately noticed my three bottles of shampoo. She asked about the expiry date. I was taken aback. Who in the world check the expiry date of shampoo? I, for one, never even thought of doing it. I guess shampoo has a long expiry date, and anyway, the three bottles would not last me for years.

I don't have a habit to check the expiry date when I go shopping, even if they are the food products. As I believe that the supermarket will not sell us products that are out of valid date.

@scheng1 If they make such a mistake, they will be sorry to it as I can be a very troublesome customer

I cannot agree with this, because i have seen supermarkets selling expired products. These are often products with long expiry date, and the supermarkets may not have the manpower to check every single item.

I don't check the expiry date on shampoo and honestly, I don't care if they expire LOL. I really don't think it matters much.. I think it just loses some effects. Like if you buy shampoo that helps your hair shine, it might not work so well after the expiration date. But I'm sure it still cleans fine.

I wonder why they want to put expiry date on shampoo at all. i can understand that some ingredients are plant based, and it is better to have fresh ingredients. However, after putting in so many chemicals into the shampoo, i doubt we can even see a drop of juice or flower essence.

I did not think that shampoo ever expired. I had enought when I had coupons and doubled the coupons for three years. I am just now having to buy shampoo.

Shampoo sure has expiry date. After the talk-to by my friend, I check the expiry date. It has a long expiry of three years. I do not know how the chemicals or ingredients can affect us if we still use the shampoo after it has expired.

I never, ever thought of this checking the expiry date on a shampoo bottle.
