    Bread, dear lord the bread.

    I always need it the day after I throw it, which was already a few days past the expiry date in the fridge.

      It you only rarely eat bread: Cut it up at put it in the freezer. Whenever you need a couple slices it’s easy to break off however many you need and pop them in a toaster for a couple minutes. If you’re packing a lunch you don’t even need the toaster, just make the lunch with frozen slices and they’ll be thawed in a couple hours :)

      The expiry date is for keeping on the counter also, if it’s not moldy just eat it…

        I actually carry tampons when I go out into the field. They come in handy if someone gets hurt and you need to stop the bleeding.

    Cheap trash earplugs at concerts.

    Nowadays I have a good pair that I bring with me, but if the foamy yellow ones are the only ones available I’ll buy them and within minutes pull them out to be able to hear anything except the person behind me butchering the lyrics straight into my ear.

    This way I can hear the music at the concert, and my worsening tinnitus the rest of my life. Win win.

        Go to a hearing aid shop. They usually also have something lile that for ear protection.
        Else research the peak and mid volume db expected of the venue you typically visit and ahop hearing protection accordingly.

    Those medicine for cuts, they always end up expiring since it’s easier to just put my hand in running water and apply soap.
