Anything that still looks and smells fine. In fact I hardly ever look at dates, only when in doubt. With a lot of things you'll know immediately; milk and meats smell badly, eggs float, packaged stuff will be bloated due to escaped gasses and bread, fruits and vegetables and other things will have molds. Expiration dates are more like guidelines anyway; foods aren't just good one day and then expire badly the next. Couple of months ago I drank some perfectly fine orange juice which according to the package was expired for two weeks. I was like no.
