Thanks. I'm sure the ones I haven't used have gone bad by now.

check online for updated expiration dates, i have seen that a lot of the original expiration dates printed on the boxes were conservative estimates at the time and updated once more information was known.

I wish they would do this in Canada.

Are they hard to get where you are?

Edit: I'm Canadian and they've been available at pharmacies but I suppose I haven't tried recently as I have a couple boxes still.

I'm in Saskatchewan so yeah. You have to track down who has them and hope that their "In Stock" is up to date. $7/test.
