Sure, up to about 4 days after expiration, after that it gets tossed.  :turkey:

Yes I eat expired food if it's in the can or package and sealed unless it smells bad.

I guess it depends on what the food is. If it is cheese, I definitely keep it if it looks and tastes good. But I wouldn't eat yoghurt or sour crème that had expired. There is no rationale to my choices though - it's just personal preference.

It's according to what it is.  And too, sometimes the date on the package is the sell-by date, rather than an expiration date.
If it still smells right, and tastes fine, I'll eat it.

First, it most definitely look and especially smell alright.  Secondly, It depends how long it is after the expiration date.  I have eaten a few things several weeks after expiration but not on a regular basis.
