I have this sachet of shampoo that I bought the other day. Upon opening it, I noticed that the consistency is not the same with the usual. It's not silky but it's like a curd. The scent remained the same but I just tossed it the garbage because I hesitate to use thinking that it may take my hair fall off. I looked at the expiry but I can't read the numbers printed tinily. I think I really need to have a fit for an eyeglasses. I also noticed that the print in the sachet is no longer the same to what I'd use previously. Must be an old stock.

I once got a big bottle of tomato ketchup on discount. I was happy to get the price and didn't check the expiry. Back home, I opened and used it. It's then my daughter checked the expiry date and found that it was going to expire the very next month. We could not use all of it by then and a lot got wasted.
Now I make sure to check the expiry date.

Things especially on discount usually have their expiry hmjust around the corner. It's kind of disposing off

@ZedSmart We need to check the expiry date and make sure it is far and we can consume the whole volume by then.

I bought toothpaste some months ago and noticed that the expiration date was long passed, I did not notice that when I was buying it. I used one tube of toothpaste because I couldn't find a new one in stores but the second one I threw away after finally buying two new ones, whose expiration date is Dec 2022. Now I know to always check the date on toothpaste before buying it.

@ZedSmart I never used to think to look at expiration date on non-food items but now I do. The toothpaste didn't seem the same as it always was. Maybe that is because it was past its expiration date.

Speaking of expiry date, I had same scenario where I need so much lighting just to see or read the label.
