What’s also interesting is all the people who throw out perfectly good medicine because it has reached it’s use by date, the fact is that most medicine is still effective for 7 years after that date if I recall the study correctly.

Be careful with that. While some medications are fine, Tetracycline, for example, breaks down into toxic byproducts after the use by date.

Do your homework.
