I don't consider expiration dates to be hard and fast rules. And it's not about having a well organized kitchen or only buying what I need. It's that I live alone and so I might not finish a carton of milk before the expiration date, or I could go broke only buying smaller sizes of everything.
I would say within a window of 1 or 2 weeks, I'll see if the items smells or looks funny, and if not, I'd say good to go.
