Woah, so many items were expiring lately. They were hiding so cleverly and sneaked in a such hidden places that when found they were years after their expiration date. That was really sad. But fear no more. With this instrument you can easily watch and follow anything that has a future date on it. To be even more safe you can stick a reminder on it and it will accurately notify you at chosen time what needs extra attention. You know, some packages are only valid a limited time when they are opened. By using the 'Open Now' button you will get the opportunity to adjust the resulting expiration by days, months - very easily. We wish you a good hunt on expiring jarrrs.
