Some people follow expiration dates strictly and no one can convince them to use a certain thing after the expiration date. Others, on the other hand, do not change the dates, as they follow the rule that the markings on the packaging are only a guideline, with which manufacturers legally insure themselves. Well, maybe those who strictly throw away everything that has expired are smart, because you will be surprised by the list of things that we use despite the expiration date, but do not realize it.
We all have things at home that stored for years or even decades. They seem to be eternal, but most things are bounded by expiration date, as some things are meant to be useless or even dangerous. Check the item list to see if they are "treasures" also stored in your home.

Bad news for those who collect rare types of spices. They should be replaced after two years, as the spices lose their properties and taste after a certain period of time.
Sports shoes - 6 months
If you actively use sports shoes, they wear out very quickly. Running shoes should be replaced every 400 kilometers or six months.
Tea bags - 6 months
Even if stored in sealed and airtight containers, tea bags should not be suitable for use after six months. The reason for this is said to lie in the fermentation of tea leaves.
Sunglasses – 2 years
Ultraviolet rays are said to have a negative effect on the lenses, namely that they begin to emit more rays after wear. The exact shelf life is determined by each manufacturer, but it should be advisable to replace glasses every two years.
Towels - 3 years
Frequent washing at high temperatures thins the fabric, so it is recommended to replace towels every three years.
Bra - 2 years
The wardrobe starts to lose its shape very quickly. Bras have a 'use by' date of two years because the inserts deform and the fabric stretches.
Slippers - 6 months
Homemade slippers only 'live' for half a year, because after six months they become a breeding ground for fungi.
Smartphones – 3 years
Smartphones also have their expiration dates. You can expect stable operation for at least three years. After this period, however, the system will suddenly slow down, especially on models with a non-removable battery.
Comb – 1 year
The shelf life of the comb is only one year, even if you clean it regularly. After this period, combs can cause dandruff and hair problems.
