Stockpiling and expiration dates

Stockpiling is certainly an important factor in frugal living.  Buying something that you need when it is 1) available 2) on sale 3) has a coupon 4) has a space for storage, is a great way to save money.  But it's important to know how long you can keep things in storage and when they expire.  Real Simple just came out with an informative article on expiration dates.   Click here and print off their list to keep on hand.

Here's another great article about medicine and expiration dates from Harvard Medical School.  I've posted it before, but it's a great article and I don't mind bringing it to your attention again.
