Every time.

I'm only concerned when the can says, "consume by 10 17 79".:(

Depends on the product and how long a period after the expiration date. Yogurt - maybe a week past the expiration date. Meat - maybe a day past the expiration date if it still looks & smells good. Condiments - probably a lot longer than I should. Dry prepared foods like cake mix, etc. a lot longer. Medicines - maybe a few months to a year depending on what it is.

Not often..I can't recall a single time I used something knowingly after its expiration date...I once took some tylenol, that expired a few months before I took it, but I didn't realize it until after I took it..though my head was hurting so much at that point, I would've taken it anyway had I known...

Never

I do occasionally...it just depends on the type of food. Most foods can be eaten after the expiration date as long as its not extremely expired. Just have to use your own judgment to if it is still good or not.

I never pay attention to expiration dates

I try not to. Especially canned goods. Dry stuff I look at. Meat after 4 days out it goes.

Depends on what it is: Yougut - yes, what is it going to have bacteria in it - more then it already does? Cheeses - cut the mold off, and sometimes it is even better....
-
often, anything except canned items that have clear botulism.
-
Never - nor opened food refrigerated for more than 5 days. But I will use unedible products that have expired.
