How long so these last if unopened? If I buy in bulk, will the ones I don't use this winter still be good next winter?

They have a "Best used by" date on them. The box I bought was about 4 or 5 years. Make sure your feet are dry as moisture shortens the time they remain warm. They are great.

I don't know, Tara. This is the first time I've used the brand. However, if you look at the indiv. packet there is an expiration date. Mine states -EXP2016 02 14 (Don't know what the latter two number indicate unless it's the date, i.e. 2 Feb., 2016. The phone # for HotMax, Inc. is 800-432-8629. This info should help. Carol

Mine have lasted for over 2 years and still work. After they get older than that they do not last as long and get hard in the package. I always have some left year to year because I cannot always find them when I need them.

We buy a year's supply at a time and find them to be fine. The packages I bought the first of 2013 have an expiration date of 12/14 so they would probably last at least 2 years, maybe longer.

I believe they will last a very long time. They are dried, so there is no issue there, and I have some that are coming up on a year.

I buy 6 bags at a time and usually don't get to the last one until a year later. I have never had any problems! Once I open a bag I put them in a jar with a tight lid to keep them fresh. If you do that they should last quite a while and still stay relatively fresh :)

They last a long time. I still have some left from a Sept. 20th wedding. Not in the frig or freezer. They may be able to freeze. Test a couple first, freeze, then thaw, the biggest problem is sweating while they thaw. But my Jordan almonds are 5 months old and still taste good.

I did. They will spoil eventually, and last longer if stored at a colder temp....with such a large container, I needed them to last as long as possible!

I've had unopened ones sitting around for a month or so now, and they taste exactly the same as the fresher ones. Opened, I'd say you still have at least a couple of weeks. They seem to be a largely dehydrated product, so from my experience they seem unlikely to perish for a really long time.

I would leave them in the bag unopened. I believe the expiration date is several months. I did use mine within 1 few weeks. I would also think you could freeze them.

Have only had mine for about three months. Good quality. They are stored out of the elements for the winter months.

They last about 3 years. You have to be proactive on removing snow. Make sure you anchor it well. They are well worth the price in my opinion.

As long as you retrieve them from your mailbox that day they should be fine.I had some delivered in the dead of winter and they froze- but then they unfroze and were fine. ;)

Good question! I order them once a month. So from my experience they last at least a month in a ziploc bag. But unopened I think for much longer as they are dried.

I read somewhere that these are suppose to last for up to a year. Just make sure you keep them stored somewhere cool.

I believe these are good for a year, unopened. After they're opened, they're good for a month.

I'd say they last a good 18 months or so. Recommend this product, but cover or remove in winter; it will crack with repeated hard freezes.

I would think they would freeze well. I used them fairly quickly, so I didn't have to freeze them. I will tell you they were not all intact when they arrived. It didn't matter for my purposes, but just saying.

Jennifer, Amazon sent this question request to me in hopes I could provide an answer, How long will it last UNopened? That depends on a lot of variables, but for me, I've had them last up to a month unopened, atmosphere and humidity plays a part in it as well. keep it in a cool dry place, where it doesn't get to hot or to cold. After about a month, it begins to harden somewhat, but I found still edible just as good, the problem I have is keeping it at all, it's so good, it's like going to the a carnival right at home. I like to think, nothing GOOD, last forever (smile). Now you are making me want to order more.
