The risk is worth it, I will probably never get food poisoning (as long as I'm careful when foraging) and I'm healthy overall so my body would take it well. I can't imagine store-bought food pushed to less than +50% of its shelf life with no signs of decay will do permanent harm. I guess a week off work can be a problem if you're in America? I feed old food to chickens instead if it goes stale or unappetizing so I never really waste any anyway.

I'm not discouraging you or any one else to be more flexible about them, I'm just saying I have my limitations on the matter.
