    Not always "plain to see" unless you have perfect vision! Especially on bottles where there's a tiny, pale stamp on the neck, if you can even see it with the liquid behind it.

    Carry a small magnifying glass when shopping ... ?

    There are online shops that only sell out of date stuff! They get them from the retailer at a fraction of the cost and sell it cheaply to the consumer! Things like booze, spice packets, sauces, sweets, drinks.etc

    I've ordered big boxes a couple of times before and got some bargains.

    curry powder doesn't go off. Fizzy drinks should be fine and that beer should be fine too. I personally wouldn't drink alcohol if it was a year out of date, but a month, that's fine!
