I’ve been thinking about expired inventory lately…

For anyone selling items with expiration dates (skincare, makeup, food), what’s your strategy when something doesn’t sell in time?

And how are you handling it on your books?

Heyy Danielle!

I try to go through my health & beauty items every 90 days or so. That way if I have something expiring in the next 90 days I can push those items more to be sold by offering a %off discount or including as a free items if purchases are made over a certain amount.

You should definitely keep track of any expiration dates. I always try to do a sale on them before they expire. Also some items still sell after they are expired. As long as you note it in your listing you are covered.

Selling anyway with clear statement.

I don't have any inventory at the moment with expiration dates, but would love to hear everyone's ideas on how to deal with this. Thanks!
