I always check use-by and best before dates. When milk can have a date that's over a week away, I really hate it when someone buys milk that's use by tomorrow.

I always check use-by and best before dates. When milk can have a date that's over a week away, I really hate it when someone buys milk that's use by tomorrow. Same for for bread, cheese, eggs, butter, fruit and veg, any number of items. Supermarkets naturally want to sell you the soon to expire stuff so how can you trust their pickers? The answer might be buyers and deliverers independent from the shops.
- mattkrause 6y agoA lot of the use-by dates are more like quality suggestions or even outright marketing (how could salt go bad?!) https://www.nytimes.com/article/expiration-dates-coronavirus.html https://www.nytimes.com/article/expiration-dates-coronavirus...
- stormdennis 6y agoYou're right but, illogical or not, given a choice I'll always take the fresher one.
