My mum laughs at me about this as i tend to stick to these dates and i just bin anything out of date - especially meat and dairy.
She's really really bad with medicene thouhg, she's got antiseptic creams that have 2005 dates on them which she claims are "perfectly fine"
Depends on the medicine.
I got some shower thingie that are expired since 2003 but if i have any sort of skin thingie (forgot what it's called) i apply that shower gel and within 2 days it's gone. </BLOCKQUOTE>
What your skin? I'm not surprised...

When I did a lot of training I used to drink two pints of milk a day. I got them from my local shop, on my way to work until one day. I necked a pint of milk & **** me, it was foul. After spending a few minutes heaving I checked the date and it was out by a few days. My other pint was perfectly fine but I didn't fancy it & I haven't drunk milk (except in tea & coffee) since.
Anyway, Matt Jones, giz a biscuit. I'll eat them for you, I'm starving, I haven't eaten allday.

Very little. For meat and fish, I'll check the dates. For pretty much anything else, I think looking at it or smelling it is enough to pass judgement.
The people who really confuse/annoy me are the ones who pay strict attention to the dates on packaged (yet fresh) fruit. If I took it out of the packet and put it with the loose fruit, nobody would be able to tell, because its still perfectly fine, so why do they insist on throwing it away "just in case"?
Unrelated note, my friend was clearing out his grandma's flat recently and found a frozen turkey in the freezer with a date of 1998 on it.

I really don't take notice of the Best by dates, but the other half refuses mto eat anything if it's even a day past it's best by date. I keep teling her that it won't be a problem but she won't have any of it!
Use by dates are normally eaten well within.

My problem is, gents, that I've got a box of biscuits from Tesco that just so happen to be 14 days out of date. No receipt, so can't take them back. I opened them and they taste a bit soft but really nice. How am I meant to know if they're bad or not, I've never eaten them before?! Dilemma...
god how do you get through the days?
