Always use the stuff you’ve opened ( as long as it’s still in date) first… wish both of my kids would get this!!

It's also used in grocery stores and other places that sell perishable items. I work at a pet store and we do this with the pet food. It's also meant to make sure the food is sold before it expires. Not all the stock employees do it so sometime I'll get a bag of food at the register that expired last year. I get mad at them for it cuz it makes me look awkward when I tell the customer that I can't sell them the food because it's expired. And of course it's usually the last one on the shelf!
