    Do others, like myself, ignore that nonsense by smelling and tasting before I use it. It's just another ploy to get people to waste their money.

    My daughter chucks loads of stuff away and I always shout that she should taste it first. Specially Yogurts and milk.
    I ignore dates, look, smell taste

    Bread is in the freezer, takes minutes to defrost for sandwiches and toast from frozen, everything else is eaten well past dates just apply common sense.

Not a lot of money I suppose, but I would rather have it in my bank rather than in the petrol companies.
