I've fallen down a rabbit hole of dealing with expired food. I'm curious - do you folks throw out expired food from your kitchen, or dig in if it looks and smells fine? I'll eat shelf stable food (cans, cereal) past the sell-by/expiration date

I'll eat refrigerated food (condiments, dairy, lunch meat) past the sell-by/expiration date if it passes the look and smell test.

Do you go out of your way to buy discounted short-dated items at the grocery store? Yes, I surf the clearance area.

No - I get my groceries delivered, so it's not an option.
