Well, I've always known that my housekeeping/organizing skills are not what others possess. I try to keep my eye on the positive and know that I am creative, and "creativity ain't always pretty." However, today I made a discovery that took me by surprise. I found out that soap has an expiration date...at least anti-bacterial soap does. Maybe it's just the antibacterial part that loses it's fight and the soap itself still cleans hands and other surfaces quite nicely.
So, how exactly did I find out that it expires? I came upon a large jug of Walmart brand antibacterial soap in our closet and happened to see that it expired...and it's not just a little expired. It expired 7 years ago!!! How is this possible, especially for a military family? It has survived 2 moves, made it through Hurricane Katrina and probably has lots of stories it could tell if it only could talk. And if it EXPIRED 7 years ago, we probably actually bought it a couple years before that. This bottle of soap may be older than our oldest child. And yet it still pours quite nicely. So, if you are looking for a long lasting liquid soap that doesn't congeal, I can (quite by accident) recommend the Walmart brand of anti-bacterial soap ;-)
