SubscribeHow Long Should I Keep that [Insert Common Household Item]?

Whether it’s your mattress, running shoes, girlfriends, pillows, or smoke alarm, there comes a time for everything to just be gone, upgraded, or replaced. But really how long am I supposed to keep those cooking spices? Does Thyme really run out of time. Well the answer is yes.
Smart Money has put together a list of common stuff you just need to replace from time to time, and they give you some nice life expectancies too. I would like to warn you though. This is not a complete list. My parents, for example, have had the same microwave since their house was built; it is older than I am. I am pretty sure that the microwaves might be leaking a bit – especially in my dad’s direction.

Ha! I just wrote this up for my site today. But I tucked it away to pull out when I’m on vacation in July. :)
