You're digging around in your pantry, and you come across a jar of honey—at least you think it's honey. Label yellowed, dust collecting on the cap, white crystals forming inside, you suspect you might have bought it around the time Top Chef premiered. And so you wonder, does honey expire? A quick internet search tells you that it does not.

But what about that other stuff in your pantry? Does vinegar expire? Does olive oil expire? What about sugar and salt?

We've compiled a list of pantry staples and how long you can safely keep them. Feel free to cut this out and post it inside your pantry or cabinet. After all, scanning this list is quicker than trying to find your phone and typing "does honey expire?" into your internet browser. Especially if you take a yellow highlighter to your favorite pantry staples.

One note that applies to all items is that they should be kept in a cool, dry, and dark place, with little to no direct sunlight, and in tightly closed containers.
