Notes -
I'm lucky my wife is reasonable about these dates. We sometimes have to have discussions about what I would consider to be common sense: Stuff suspended in olive oil and in the fridge is going to be OK to eat for a long time, a sauce that's almost all vinegar and salt is the same way, etc.
Over the years I've discovered some manufacturers are too aggressive with these dates, but the vast majority are too conservative. I would get frustrated quickly at someone throwing out food that's still good all the time.
