As for the bleach, yeah it does expire to some degree.  I have 3 gallons that I bought in February when I saw things starting to get worse with Covid-19 as well as another used bottle that is less than 6 months old I use for laundry and used for my bleach solution. All stored in a cool dry place out of direct sunlight with my other supplies.  As I posted some time ago, I'm a bit of a prepper just not at the same level as people in those TV shows.  So I'm good for awhile when it comes to having bleach that is effective.  

On a side note, once this is all over I will be good if I never have to hear, "in these uncertain times" and other variations used in commercials again.  

Wha....wait.. Bleach has an expiration date? You mean after 5 years you can drink it? C'mon man.. Unless you've been storing bleach since maybe 1834 it's still good to go.
