I'm pretty clean in my actions .

Not worth it to lose what your baking over a 50 cent box of baking soda or 1.00 can of baking pwd.

I'm making Pioneer woman's apple caramel rolls this weekend. lot of trouble and time. Not blowing it over expired raising agents. LOL

@GiantsLover A little tip, when your baking soda has expired, put it in your kitchen drain and follow with the cold water on high for a few minutes. It takes any odors away and cleans the drain. If you have a garbage disposal, I wouldn't do it. I don't have one so I can't speak to that issue. Make sure you run the water for awhile. 

Thanks for your info.

I just check the expiration date on the package.

Both of these items show expiration dates on the containers.  I use my old baking soda for cleaning.   Before I never thought about baking soda expiring.  I know old baking powder doesn't get good results.

Baking powder is typically composed of baking soda, cornstarch, and acidic salts or cream of tartar, so it makes sense that you'd need to check your baking powder and baking soda for freshness to get the best results. It's definitely worth the few minutes to check if it's worth it to spend all the time putting the recipe together.
