if its best before date I will eat it
if its eat before date I wont :-D :-D :-D

If I freeze on the day of purchase, the use by date goes out of the window, especially if it needs to be cooked before eating.......

if say I'd bought three of minced meat, i'd thaw one, cook it, add all the ingredients to make two cottage pies, and re freeze till needed

I think we all take sensible approach judging by these comments.

My son has become paranoid about use by/ sell by /best before dates, he won't give anything a chance, not the way he was brought up but he has become quite wasteful, very much chuck it and replace rather than get something fixed etc Not sure if it's his fiancee's influence or what but it makes me cross, he doesn't have money to throw around
