Could be fine, depending on how its been stored I guess. Assume that is a 24 carton, and for $19 it's hard to go wrong.

Two of each into it now and quite satisfied that it was a good buy.

Next option is to buy "fresh samples" and test against the Out of date ones.

Double check if it is a 'best before' or 'best after' date on them.

You are right, they are best after stamped.
Yet it is still 12 months past the best after date.

12 months past the best-after date would mean, at a guess, that they're 14 months old. But for $19, who's complaining, particularly if they have been stored well.
