I would use it up. No point in wasting $ spent. Like a year ago i shut down a koi pond, and had like 2 lbs of koi pellets left, i used it up on my cichlids by just substituting half of their normal pellets each feeding.
Use up these low quality foods or toss?

If you have a garden, you can mix it up with the soil as plant food.
tetra min isn't that bad years ago that was a high quality food. Your fish are sort of common and will do fine on either product. I know the tetra min will pollute your water quicker though. Tetra min was all I used for years until NLS came out and I never looked back. Again tetramin was developed in Germany and was a good staple for years
I’d feed them to my fish personally. It’s money you spent already... but that’s the cheap bastard in me talking. 
Thanks for all the input. This thread helped a lot as now I feel fine with using it up and then transitioning to the better stuff.
I debated this two months ago and decided to keep feeding but then I debated it again in my head prior to posting this
After all the responses suggesting I use it up, it's seems clear that is the way to go so I no longer have to keep debating this in my head. Thanks again.

I have noticed the waste issue when I've fed the food in the QT tank as it's bare bottomed. Theres a lot more poop after I feed the tetra foods (and it's red colored). The NLS definitely results in less waste.
