Ok, you inspired me to go past the cobwebs and find what was hiding in the back of my closet. I found the following expired items:

Accu-chek multiclix lancets, exp 10-2015.  
A1C Now, box of 2 only 1 left. Expired 09-2013.  
BD syringes 8mms, 31g. No exp. Rec 12-2013  
Contour next strips, exp 05-2015.  
1 partial box of Medtronic Sof-sensors. 11-2010.

Anyone want some Sof-sensors?

I will do some comparisons of the contour next strips when I get my shipment from AZ this week for new strips.
