That $5 'expired' protein powder turned out fine

Found a tub of whey isolate at a discount grocery in Phoenix marked down to $5 because it was 8 months past the date. I was sure it would taste like cardboard or worse but figured why not. Took a scoop, mixed it with milk, and honestly couldn't tell a difference from fresh stuff. Has anyone else gambled on expired supplements and gotten away with it?

8 months isn't even bad, protein powder is basically shelf stable forever.

Protein powder stays good a lot longer than people think, honestly. I've used stuff that was way past the date with zero issues, just had to shake it up more. Unless it smells funky or has clumps, you're probably fine.
