10. Butter
If you see that your butter is about to expire, the solution is simple: put it in the freezer and it will stay fresh and edible for longer.

As long as the yogurt is unopened and refrigerated, you can still eat it one to three weeks after purchase. If you notice an unpleasant odor or the texture seems odd, throw it out.

Bags of salad mixes made with arugula, for example, can be consumed after the expiration date indicated; you just need to cut off any damaged or wilted pieces.

Since the oils inside cookies or chips take a long time to spoil, you can generally eat them as long as they don’t smell bad and the texture seems normal.
