It looks like there may be a lot of MCINLs. My reason for that
is that I seldom look at expiry dates on stuff in the fridge. I
usually freeze things like meats and breads and other things
will be used if they look OK. The expiry date has usuallly been
lost anyway tho' ancient cheese does not look appetizing.
Quite a lot of things have "sell by" dates that are worth
examining before buying. Oriental grocery stores, for some
reason particularly Thai, sometimes have sell-by dates as much
as 2 years in the past :-)

You have a point for the meat question, I'll concede... I'll keep
meat in the fridge for a day or two, but if I don't use it within two days
I freeze it, then it's usually OK for a few months - as long as it doesn't
get 'freezer burn'. I suppose other folks freeze a lot of their meat
too.
However, I personally never freeze milk, because I buy 'full cream milk'
which tends to 'separate' if I freeze it <yuk>. But as we go through a
fair amount of milk in this house, I use the taste/sniff test if it
happens to go a day or two over the expiration date that is printed on the
carton/packaging before it gets used... If it smells bad I chuck it. The
cats are not interested in 'iffy' milk <lol>
I never freeze cheese either - so I do the 'check for mold' thing. If it
looks OK, I'll use it.

I sometimes freeze cheese (or find my husband has) and some types work ok
for that, depending on how you use it later. On fresh, I'll scrape mold off
if it's not too bad and repackage <g>.

My Mom used to freeze (cheddar) cheese. I never liked it once it was
defrosted <shrug>, so I've never bothered freezing it myself. I don't
recall her freezing any other types of cheese, but then, it was a very
long time ago.

It does change it a bit and i tend to not like it as a fresh slicing cheese
after that, but it works well enough for baking.

I worked in a cheese packing plant. The big blocks and wheels of cheese
came in and we portioned them for cryovac. We always scraped mold off the
block before portioning. I do the same at home. I freeze cheese too. I
have a couple of pieces in my freezer that had developed mold and I scraped
it and froze it until i could use it....Sharon

Ditto. However, milk and I don't really get along, I'm sorry to
say. Once milk has been opened, I won't touch it after a couple
of days. But, if it's still unopened, I can let it go longer, maybe even
up to expiration and after. I have opened cream to find out it's bad,
yet the date is still good.
In other words, it all depends.
I'm notorious for buying meat that looks good and not even
noticing the expiration date. Frankly, I think the expiration date
is haphazard and I rely on my senses rather than some date stamp.
I'm sure someone here said that they aren't even legally required to
date the meat. Maybe I'm wrong.
> The expiry date has usuallly been lost anyway tho' ancient cheese does

Once I open cheese, I rewrap it, so I have no idea what the date
is. I just look at it, if it looks okay, I'll eat it.

I've never had an issue with expiration dates on milk since I started
using the Lactaid milk which is ultra pasteurized and has long shelf
life. I always use it up before it reaches the expiration date.
Cheese is always fine unless it's moldy, or dried up.
Meat I'm far more picky with and won't use past the expiration date.

I've only seen drugs with an Expiration Date, never any foods. Foods
have a "Sell By" or "Best Used By" date.
This survey has now expired... all I can do is offer my condolences.

C'mon... what's the matter with all yoose... this is an invalid

Aw w w c'mon Sheldon, lighten up a bit, whydoncha? Best Used By/Expiration
Date... same thing to me. Most other folks here knew what Sky was on
about, judging by their posts. IMHO, 'Best Used By Date' is just the the
politically correct version of 'Expiration Date', because I remember
seeing an 'Expiration Date' on plenty of foodstuffs about 20 years ago...
