'Expiration' dates on anything that's not baby formula aren't. They're 'best used by' or 'sell by', but many restaurants will get rid of it for liability issues.
Although it should be good for many months past that date, it'd be better stored refrigerated, and I suspect most people don't have the fridge space for that sort of thing.
What I'd recommend is finding a soup kitchen or similar near you and donating it. They could slow cook chicken or pork in it for a very easy meal, or even glaze and grill it. If any of the churches near you do big dinners as fund raisers, that's another possibility.

That's going to be a "best before" date, not a "use by" date (if it's the same ketchup-like stuff you get in the supermarket). So assuming it's sealed at the moment, open it when you want to use some, and then get through it within the "after opening" instructions (probably something like "keep in the fridge, use within 4 weeks"). You may need to decant into smaller containers to fit in a domestic fridge; you could also freeze some at that stage.
Can I freeze it? Won't it turn to sludge when I defrost it? If I can, then it works for me!

I've never needed to freeze that sort of thing but bad on home made sauces I'd expect it to be fine. You'd need to freeze in small enough containers to defrost a whole container each time you want some, and defrost in the fridge. It might need a bit of a stir but that's all
