BBE Brown Sugar & Coconut

Going through my cupboards I have found Brown sugar and Coconut both at least 6 months passed their BBE dates. Should I chuck and in future do more home baking or keep til I get round to doing some again?

TIA

    Personally if they looked ok i would keep them for future use and reassess then. I can't see b rown sugar or coconut going out of date - how do they smell?

    Do what you are comfortable with and ill merge this with food safety later

    The sugar should be perfectly OK, IMHO! As for the coconut, there's a slim possibility it might have gone rancid due to the oil content, but as Zippychick says, give it a good sniff and if it smells ok, a quick taste will reassure you.
