Can teabags go off once they're opened?

I'm a great fan of Yorkshire teabags and have also been saving the tokens off the boxes for a while. ----bought when they're on offer of course!!! :rolleyes:
I've just learnt that from June they will no longer be doing the reward system, though you can still buy the items if you want. (teapot, mug etc)
As I buy them when they're on offer I now have 800 teabags in unopened boxes with maybe 10 or more tokens inside.
If I open the boxes to get the tokens out will the teabags go stale quickly?

You could get some lock & Locks or something like to put them in, or split them into piles of about 100 and wrap with loads of clingfilm. They go a bit stale after a while if they're exposed.I’m a Forum Ambassador and I support the Forum Team on the Old style MoneySaving, Gardening, and Crafting boards.

I agree, sealed containers are the way forward. I assume you'll just be opening them to take the tokens out then sealing them back up again so I can't see that they'll have much opportunity to go stale imho. Failing that, you could invite everyone over for a cup of tea or twenty!

I agree! I've got nice twinings teabags (though I do enjoy a good yorkshire tea) but I begrudge wasting them on people who can't tell the difference! Ooh what kind of biscuits Barneysmom? Good dunkers I hope!0

That's what cheap supermarket own brand "sweepings" bags are for!
