DaysAgo is a digital timer that shows you how many days (or hours) ago something was done. These DaysAgo timers can be used for practically everything-ranging from tracking how long ago you opened that can of salsa to how many days it’s been since you last fed your pet fish. Initially, the DaysAgo timer was created in order to help track the freshness of baby food, but now you can use it for a variety of purposes including (kitchen use, prescription reminders, exercise, plant waterings, and much, much more).

The timer is a small, attractive looking device that attaches to surfaces by magnets or suction cups. The DaysAgo timers are also reusable: simply reset the timer, and it will start counting up the days or hours, again. The winner of the Good House Keeping Good Buy Award 2007, DaysAgo is a useful device for those who wish to easily track the pass in time.

It was extraordinarily easy to figure out how to use the DaysAgo counter. You simply press the large button, and it begins counting up days. To switch to hours, you press the button again. After you’re done using it, you can reset the timer by holding down the button for five seconds.

I would heartily recommend the DaysAgo timer to those who have need of it. Simple, easy to use, and well designed, DaysAgo is sure to rescue you from the joys of expired left-overs. The DaysAgo timer is available in packs of two for $10 from howmanydaysago.com.
