Check the expiration dates when you shop [View all]

I wanted a graham cracker pie crust. I got one in Dollar Tree. All of the crusts but the one I bought were a month past the expiration date.

I was in Kroger Sun. They finally had their store brand of migraine capsules on the shelf, after a long absence. I checked the expiration date, and all of the ones I looked at expired 4/2025. A clerk was nearby and I mentioned it to him. He checked every box and found 1 that expired 11/2025 and apologized.

Since Covid, I've been better at checking the dates. A lot of stuff is usable after the date, and if it's already in my house, I might use the item. But I don't want to pay full prices for expired goods.
