Butter

Butter is a durable food. If you intend to use it within a reasonable amount of time, keep it in the fridge. It can be frozen if not.

Canned foods

As long as they are stored in a cold, dry environment, you can use the food in those cans for up to five years after the expiration date.

Frozen Foods

Only a few days in the refrigerator are sufficient for raw meat and poultry. They can be frozen, though, and stored after their expiration date.

Honey

The only food that is known to last forever is honey. It is difficult for bacteria or other microbes to impact it since it is formed of sugar, which makes it resistant to infection.

Pasta

Dry pasta will last long past the expiration date. Because it doesn't contain water or any other liquid, it will stay fresh if it is kept in a dry place in an airtight container.
