Amanda Clark, owner of Ever So Organized is all about an immediate wash and chop:
32. At least once a month, check those expiration dates and toss what you can. Expired food often takes up valuable shelf space.

I offered up some free options to treat Dad this Father's Day in the latest Heavy article:
Yet another idea is recreating a sporting event in the back yard. “It can be as simple as playing catch or a game of tag, or as intense as a competitive cannonball competition,” Clark says. She recommends using your phone to film the action, while serving as the play-by-play announcer. “If possible, mirror the video later on your TV and let Dad enjoy his favorite beverage and appetizer while he watches the highlight reel.”
