What's the greatest extent (as in the most amount of time) to which you've eaten something past its expiration date with the food still being enjoyable? (lemm.ee)

The risk is worth it, I will probably never get food poisoning (as long as I'm careful when foraging) and I'm healthy overall so my body would take it well. I can't imagine store-bought food pushed to less than +50% of its shelf life with no signs of decay will do permanent harm. I guess a week off work can be a problem if you're in America? I feed old food to chickens instead if it goes stale or unappetizing so I never really waste any anyway.

I'm not discouraging you or any one else to be more flexible about them, I'm just saying I have my limitations on the matter.
