Sell by dates and use by dates can be confusing. And what about things that don’t have any dates? How long should you keep household items, food and bedding before replacing it?

I came across this article on msn money central detailing when to toss common household items. Some of it is common sense but there are some good tips. Cosmetics is a big one. I am sure most women only replace their cosmetics when they run out and not the recommended every 3 months. Especially if you use expensive make up. It would be hard to part with a Chanel lipstick after only 3 months right?!

Don’t forget to read dates and clean out your fridge!
