So I know milk expires, and salad dressing, meat, too... but I did not know these things all have expiration dates. Time to throw stuff out. After finding this list on BuzzFeed, I need to throw half of the things in my bathroom away, maybe other rooms in my house too.

Turns out a lot of things don't last as long as they used to, are you surprised?

  1. Potatoes - they're only good for two to three months and can be dangerous after that
  2. Bleach - loses it's strength after three months
  3. Sunscreen - you have three years to use your sunscreen
  4. Power strips and surge protectors - replace them every few years
  5. Spices - two to three years and they begin to lose their flavor
  6. Fire extinguishers - can expire after five years, but can lose pressure before that
  7. Car seats - they should last six to ten years after the manufacturing date
  8. Mascara - you should buy new mascara every three months
  9. Loofahs - mesh loofahs only last a few months, natural ones a few weeks
  10. Batteries - check the date, store them in a dry place
  11. Smoke detectors - ten years
  12. Liquor - opened liquor will lose flavor after a year
  13. Lotion - only save lotions for about a year
  14. Hydrogen Peroxide - only lasts a few months once it's been opened
  15. Lipstick - you should throw away your lipstick after two years
  16. Insect repellent - two years past the manufacture date
  17. Running shoes - you should replace every 200-300 miles
  18. Disposable razors -  replace every week
