Decluttering October: Expired Spices and Food

Check! Another October decluttering task complete!

I checked all the expirations dates on the spices, baking supplies, and food in my cupboard. I also checked the freezer and condiments in the fridge. I did do this prior to a grocery store run, so I had fewer items to move around. 


The oldest expiration was 2018. It is not uncommon to find an item from the year prior if you do this task just once a year. Last year it wasn't technically expired when I checked. I will add the one spice that was nearly empty anyway to my shopping list. The rest can wait until needed again. 

What a relief to know I won't be serving anyone anything expired this holiday season! 

How often do you check for expiration dates on food or spices in your home? What is the oldest date you have found?
