I find them useful for personal products like shampoo, deodorant, Advil etc.
I don't mind buying 2 to get 3.00 off for instance, but many of those
coupons are for sugary cereals and other junk food. Others might find those
useful though, so I just pick out the ones I will use. I'm not big on using
a coupon for something I've never tried before food wise.

(Colgate Total). The only indicator on both the box and the tube is
a picture of the tube cap open and "12 M". IOW use within a year after
opening the tube.

computer with different newsreader As you can see there are no chevrons
and I hate it.

Don't tell me to get xyz because I've tried a few and couldn't get on with
them. So ... I am doing my best to keep things right.

There are so many nasty comments here I can't keep up so don't worry about

And there are always coupons for hair color ... I buy it for a
friend. Moisturizer. That kind of stuff is pretty expensive and
I'll clip those.

There are hardly ever coupons for food I'd buy. Just as well, I don't
have much patience for storing the coupons then making sure I have
them when I need them.

I see coupons for Eggland's best once in a while, and my store
doubles them, so it's a good deal if I can match it to a sale.
Ditto sugar, comes in handy around the holidays.

Toothpaste actually has an expiration date, it's on the box. However
I seriously doubt there would be any side effects from using exprired
toothpaste. That said all those tiny tubes of toothpaste my dental
hygienist givea me expired 2-3 years ago. I still use them. I have a
few large tubes of toothpaste hafta be ten years old, I still use
them.

So you don't use that $20 a tube toothpaste that guarantees no

I'm left wondering who the hell buys toothpaste and lets it run out
(date wise). I buy it and use it several times a day. Never any issue
about time out.

wth?

Reminds me of the extreme couponing craze a few years back.
People had whole rooms in their house packed with decades worth

Sometimes I brush without toothpaste, just plain water... I brush
after eating but I don't always want that toothpaste flavor in my
mouth right after eating a tasty meal.

I had to take the toothpaste tube under bright light to
check the crimping. Yup, it's hard to make out but I see
Exp 09/2017. It just looks like crimping. A US thing, I

Are you ppl shitin' me!? An expiration date on toothpaste? Is there
anyone in this group who actually believes their toothpast will spoil,
if not used by a certain date? Seriously?

Maybe I will have to look again, but I might suggest that if it is
stamped in along the bottom crimp, it can't be too important.

I'm sure my toothpaste has a best-by date, put there by the manufacturer.
I don't pay any attention to it. It's not my fault the mfgr wants to
CYA. That way, they can say "Oh, sorry, did your toothpaste kill you?
We clearly indicated that it was best by XX-YY-20ZZ date."

Well I can't help what they do, never noticed it before, I just buy a
couple of tubes on sale, use and buy more. I see this one is BB

I've never thought to look at the BB date but I suppose depending
where you were buying it, it might be a consideration.

I bought some Chan Pui Ying Che preserved plum this morning from the Chinese crackseed store on the corner. I think it's made in Taiwan. It package says it's best before Jan 25, 2016. It tastes pretty good though. Maybe they're confusing the date of manufacture with the expiration date. God I sure hope so!

I've never looked at an expiration date on toothpaste and I'm sure I never
will, but I do buy at least four tubes at a time. I prefer Colgate, dh
prefers Crest.

I usually buy multiples (as in when on sale) but even then, don't
look. If I did decide to buy, say in Dollarama, then I would check
I usually buy Colgate but sometimes Crest if the price is tempting.

This afternoon I bought my fourth cooked chicken from Whole Foods. Each
time they have gotten heavier. First was 2.5 lbs. The next slightly more.
The third was 2.75 lbs. The fourth was 2.8 lbs. And this was net of the
plastic container.

What I did differently this time was to take the chicken from the bottom
shelf. It was juicier than the prior ones taken from the upper shelf. This
means that they rotate the chickens. So... Always take from the bottom
shelf.

The price was $8.99 plus sales tax. Plus I got 1.6 miles of exercise on my
bicycle.

Blimey, that's over 2.5km:-)

You are correct. But they do put the newest on the bottom shelf, and move
the ones there up to the top shelf. And I am eyeballing them to pick the
heaviest.

You have quite the gift there that you can discriminate whole
chicken's weight differences in their package by a couple three ounces
by eye... even I'm not that good hefting women's tatas naked in my
hands.

I've gotten a lot of practice selecting the egg cartons that weigh the most
(at farmers' market and food coop). It actually is a lot easier for the
chickens. You can see them inside the container. You look for one that
fills the most space. Then a little weight comparison to be sure.

This time I weighed the bones I tossed. That was a little over a half
pound.
