Each Tuesday is recycle rubbish day in my community .I throw away some expired canned foods .I know some people like shopping one week's foods from markets. These foods maybe fresh vegetables , meat or some canned foods . They put some foods in the refrigerator or some place in the kitchen for long time. I like buy some foods keep them at home. I use to check the foods expired date . I felt very sad when i throw away expired foods into the trash can . It is important to check the expired food is good for body health and keep nutrition from the foods .

We check out for expired food too and throw them away. As you said consuming those foods are harmful

Usually I don't check the expired time before I go shopping. As I think they are all in valid date.

I know that canned food lasts longer than the dates. They are usually removed from stores around here and donated to a surplus store that sells old goods that are still eddible for a fraction of cost.
Best By, Best if Used By, and Use By dates on commercially canned foods sold in the United States are not food safety dates. Provided voluntarily by manufacturers, they are an indication of how long products are likely to remain at peak quality.

@Linda1234 You are welcome and here is one store that sells stuff that stores give up to them to sell for less that are still good enough to eat but I do like food fresh if possible who doesn't ?

Previously we used to chuck any food away that was out of date but nowadays we keep food a lot longer. If it has a best before then we will keep them longer to use but if it's a use by date then we throw them on the day of expiry if not before.

It is better to check the dates before buying the same. Yes we feel bad on throwing food as it is expired. There is no other way but to throw if the food is expired rather than inviting problems by eating the same.

I agree with you. Problem is I have not organize the food and canned food yet. It would be better to catgorize into the years or months. Then you will know which batch of food is going to expire, either give away to your relatives or the poor rather than feeding the dump truck
