hey im just wondering as most of the information i have seen about shooting expired film to be older discontinued/ cold storage film. i recently bought 2 rolls of ilford ortho 80 at a local camera store. i was unaware that they are expired. its summer and i plan on shooting them throughout this upcoming week. it expired in September of 2022 and as far as im aware it was sitting in air conditioned stores shelf. for my piece of mind, its fine to shoot at 80 ? or should i over expose, and by how much ? im sorry if this is a dumb question im new to 120 and low speed films. i dont want to complain to a manager, as i did get a discount on the film but the "homie/good customer" discount. i was never told specifically that it was expired. what are your guys thoughts on my next steps?

Fine to shoot at box. That's not very expired. Most BW is just fine. There might be some slight shift but it will be really hard to notice.
