Forever eating out-of-date food as my dad buys it all latenight from the supermarket in huge quantities. Rarely off even four of five days after its date, but I'm more cautious with meat, milk and yoghurts.

Biscuits though, "14 days out of date" - they'd still be edible a year out of date. And "no receipt"? Were you going to exchange them for a fresh pack of biscuits?

I could just eat an out of date sausage roll. It'd give me a better excuse to go home from work early than my nasty hangover.

I dont' understand people worrying about the date with milk. I just smell it and if still in doubt, poor a small amount and taste it. The dates are completely irrelevant as if you leave milk out next to a window for a few off, it will often go off despite it being a few days before the use by date.

Well yes, that's because the use by date is to be used together with the storage instructions on food.
