Most of our local supermarkets mark down a variety of items when they come close to their expiration date. I always look for those and buy them when out shopping. Even further, there is a local discount store that has some kind of arrangement where they take the expired goods from many of the local supermarkets and continue to offer them at even deeper discounts. I have made purchases there as well.
I have gone through my own pantry and found canned goods items that expired 1, 2 or even 3 years ago. I have still been able to use them without finding them bad.
The expiration date from the producer is only a recommendation. It is not necessarily the date the product will go bad. If it still looks good, feels good, smells good, etc., it is still perfectly fine to cook, eat and consume. Besides, a few extra worms that might show up just add some protein to the meal when you cook it. (Only kidding. Just wanted to see if you are actually reading this stuff.)
