A stranger at the camera shop gave me the best tip for expired film

I was buying some old Tri-X at a shop in Denver and mentioned I was nervous to shoot it. The clerk told me, 'Just overexpose by one stop for every decade past the date, you'll be fine.' I tried it on a roll from 2005, and the shots came out perfect. What's the best piece of simple advice you've gotten for tricky film?

Oh yeah, that rule saved my butt last year.
