Anyone know how to decipher ZAR manufacture date codes? I perused their website, didn't find anything.

Why do I ask? Local hardware store has quarts of ZAR oil based stains for $4.00. Looks to me like they're trying to clear out some old stock. One can had "7E09" inked on the bottom. Which could mean July 5th, 2009 or May 7th, 2009 or May 9th, 2007... well you get the idea.

I'm just wondering if I should snag a few cans for future staining needs. Store has a wide selection of colors.

Thanks.
