This ****ing sucks. While I understand the need to create and control an economy, it just really demotivates people from getting back into the game if you rarely log in, only to see all your money just got wasted.

What we need is an apothecary service.

Some kind of crazed backdoor alchemist who can take our expired materials and recycle them into new items, although with consequences. This would lessen the problem of people losing tons of cash, provide an incentive to go for some expired items, and give people something to buy.
