A lot of food doesn't even have an expiration date. It's more common on a lot of foods to have a sell by date, which is not the same thing as an expiration date, and some foods are even just labelled with a packaged date, which is hopefully always in the past. Otherwise you've got bigger problems than spoiled food. MREs are especially notorious for this.

That being said though, I'm still usually the one throwing food out. At some point you just have to admit you're not going to eat it, and no one wants your dubious opened packages or half eaten leftovers. It's just gonna have to go eventually.
