Additions
I've found in cooking that pimentos can be difficult to incorporate into a dish. The main places I find myself using them are in Mediterranean dishes, salads and dips. Many good hearty chip dips are improved by the addition of pimento peppers.
If you wish to serve something more uncommon, try finding whole peppers and stuffing them with various fillings (A personal favorite of mine is cream cheese, smoked salmon, diced green olives and jalapenos). This recipe tastes the best in the more mild and sweeter varieties of pepper.

The sell-by date on food products is a guideline for stores to know how long to display the product for sale. It is not a safety date. The safety of consuming pimento cheese after the sell-by date depends on factors such as how it has been stored (refrigerated at the correct temperature), if there are any signs of spoilage (such as off odor, mold, or unusual texture), and if the packaging is intact. If the pimento cheese appears and smells normal, it is likely safe to eat even after the sell-by date, but always use your best judgment and when in doubt, throw it out.

What can you use as a substitute for pimentos?
I know, everywhere you look the substitute for green bell peppers is red or yellow bell peppers, and vice versa. Not very helpful if you don't like them or are allergic. It depends on what you are using them in. I use pimiento if color and flavor are needed, but I don't really like pimiento. Zucchini or fresh red onion in dips, broccoli in soups or stews. I'd like additional ideas myself!
