Cheese is best after the expiration date, if it's 2+ of blue, unpasteurised and soft. I only buy cheese from the reduced shelves, when it's less than half price because its use by date is today - this gets me tasty cheese, and helps limit my consumption (since on the average visit, there's no reduced cheese available). Not recommended: buying your cheddar this way. That tends to go a bit hard and crispy. Always found that unappealing. Also not recommended: using this purchasing strategy with raw oysters.
