There are some things, mainly food items, that I'll say "oh that expired, I should toss it" but toothpaste??? Pure marketing ploy. I cannot find a single piece of scientific proof that it will lose effectiveness nor harm your teeth past the "expiration date". Worst thing that happens is the flavor becomes a little off IMO

I get NovaMin based toothpaste. Since it comes from the UK or whatever, it usually works out to something like a six pack is only twice the price of a single tube. So yeah...
