What if anything do still use after the date?

i accidentally discovered that almond milk has quite the shelf life regardless of the expiration date...

Ketchup, mustard, and oil based salad dressing have always held up a couple months after for me.

Good thread, btw.

dairy products

Don't ruin this thread Pete

If it smells right... But not milk. Do not drink old milk.

I dont really use anything after expiration date. My problem is I forget some shit is in my fridge and when my family comes and visits they point out its months past the expiration date.

There was some programme I saw that said most expiration dates are really best by dates. It went on to explain that it usually is to cover the company from litigation and also it is the manufacturers interest for you to discard and replace the product as early as possible.

I trust my nose, well my wife's nose. Dairy products usually have a few more days on the stated date.

always milk after the date

Along with milk, I'm pretty strict with yogurt dates. Anything like cereal, crackers, chips...as long as they're not so stale that they're nearly inedible, I don't really care about the date. My fiancee usually tosses these, though, so it's an eternal struggle to get to the Cinnamon Toast Crunch before she does.

I never check the date until it's too late for it to save me.

You rebel

Consequences will never be the same.

wait, food expires?

I feel like the expiration or best by date is usually pretty ignorable with deli meats as long as your not talking weeks later....

I feel like you are trying to convince yourself here about some questionable lunch meat you have sitting in your refrigerator.
