One of my decluttering mini missions this month is getting rid of expired items in our home and restocking if necessary.
I looked in our linen closet and the basket on my fridge for expired medicines and vitamins. I also looked in our bathroom for personal care items that might have been stored there and found a few more items that needed to go.
Luckily, it wasn't a lot but I was surprised the ibuprofen was expired in 2018. We rarely take that anymore, so I'm not replacing it unless there is a true need. In fact, nothing I tossed this time needs to be replaced, but if it did I would be adding the item to my next shopping trip.
This was a fast task for me and took very little time as we store similar items in just a couple places. I mean honestly, this could probably be done during a commercial of your favorite evening show.
I'm always thankful I have done this task in the early fall before anyone in our household falls ill. I can feel confident I have unexpired items available without having to run to the store at the last minute.
Are your medications unexpired? Do you need to add any medicinal staples to your stash?
