Day 239: Expired

We have discussed this before, but have you checked your medicine cabinet recently? I am visiting with my sister-in-law who often travels from the West Coast to the East to visit. She keeps a stash of toiletries at her mother's so she doesn't have to bring so much. This morning she found several over-the-counter medications that had expired, so she threw them out for her "simplify: one per day" commitment.

On that topic, I saw an article about prescription medication expiring. When a doctor is trying to find the right medication, you may have to purchase multiple bottles before the right one is found. This person said that the drug store will sell a few pills intead of a whole bottle if you aren't sure; that way you don't waste the money or have to store/throw out medication you'll never use.
