It adds time to my shopping time but I don't play with dates. If it's meat purchased before the expiration date and it's in my freezer, I might let it go. But other stuff? No way. I'm tossing it.MsJayyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06828194003553480990noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1335680391050121939.post-76010362603761058102007-05-30T00:32:00.000-04:002007-05-30T00:32:00.000-04:00heeeheeeeeeee! boys are funny creatures.

I threw away my receipt and so just had to shuck them. He is the one in this house who pays attention to dates...he won't even drink the milk after the date, "sale by"...me, i'm funny about frozen food, anything to iced down, i'm not eating...I guess i'm scared of freezer burn.Mizrepresenthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02992754393960138393noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1335680391050121939.post-71292180554838053232007-05-29T14:28:00.000-04:002007-05-29T14:28:00.000-04:00LMAO.. girl I am with you.. no such thing..

However, I'm a little flexible when it comes to meat. If I bought it before the expiration date, then took it home and put it in the freezer, I'd still eat it after the exp. date. That's assuming it looked and smelled OK after thawing.<BR/><BR/>In other words, it depends on what it is.Single Mahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02304629601616898196noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1335680391050121939.post-13343243967578744002007-05-28T14:12:00.000-04:002007-05-28T14:12:00.000-04:00Hi Diva, i am back from Kenya and i have so missed...Hi Diva, i am back from Kenya and i have so missed reading everyones blogs!!!<BR/><BR/>So much to catch up on.....<BR/><BR/>lol yes i read the expiration dates as well!!Jasmineflowerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13650352951151804923noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1335680391050121939.post-63506836895354445382007-05-28T13:46:00.000-04:002007-05-28T13:46:00.000-04:00& thanx for adding me to your list:-)& thanx for adding me to your list:-)CapCityhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03772430267433358900noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1335680391050121939.post-82130031215193420212007-05-28T09:22:00.000-04:002007-05-28T09:22:00.000-04:00haha!

I am a perishable merchandiser for a major grocery chain, so expiration dates and fresh food are my business. I don't even eat a slice of bread the day after. Everything gets thrown into the trash. My boyfriend can't stand it.Billyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10753509148757883091noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1335680391050121939.post-18591325687037309542007-05-28T08:29:00.000-04:002007-05-28T08:29:00.000-04:00The expiration date is a guideline. Stuff is usua...The expiration date is a guideline. Stuff is usually good for a little bit longer. Once in a great while, it goes bad before the expiration date. Some stuff will last longer depending on the condition of your frig, and if it's something that can be frozen that might work for another three to six months.<BR/><BR/>But the thing is that you pay attention to the expiartion dates, and you don't want to risk your health eating something that would have just cost like three dollars to replace anyway. You're not starving or anything, so there's no reason to do that. If it looked okay and smelled okay, then it was probably okay. But if he had gone to the kitchen first and made the sausage before you saw the problem, and you ate some of it, and then you saw the wrapper and the date afterward, then just that probably would have made you sick just from thinking about it, even if it was still okay. It's your body and you'd be the one to get sick, so if it bothers you don't eat it.<BR/><BR/>And I hate to tell you this, but sometimes the store will repackage stuff with a different expiration date. So you may have eaten something that was past the date even if you didn't know it.<BR/><BR/>It's probably no big deal. If you remember some of your history lessons, America was "discovered" looking for a new trade route to someplace where people bought spices. Spices were a big deal back then, because people were eating meat that had already started to smell, and the spices hid the smell and the bad taste. So people used to eat stuff that was way past the expiration date, and most of the time it didn't kill them.laughinghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11999190808736700318noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1335680391050121939.post-47652200024304394102007-05-28T07:09:00.000-04:002007-05-28T07:09:00.000-04:00Having worked in supermarkets many many mango seas...Having worked in supermarkets many many mango seasons ago, I do know that the expiration date is usually a guideline, and the stuff normally has a couple more days life after the date, so the companies don't get sued for selling stuff out of date.
