With eggs I do the old 'see if they float in water' trick. Yogurts I'll eat a day or two after their use-by but no longer. Milk I sniff and hope! Meat - no way would I eat past its date.

I check the date on eggs and sometimes it's smudged so if I can't read it I throw them away. Am I too careful?lol

Did you hear about the couple who celebrated their Golden wedding by eating a tin of chicken that was in their wedding hamper?

My question is, how much attention do you pay to best before dates? Do you throw stuff out as soon as it goes out of date, or do you give it a couple of days grace? Or do you ignore them altogether? On fresh food I'll eat it up to three days out of date, but stuff like tins - or even chocolate - I will eat months out of date.

I read this story and felt sick when the man said he didn't warm it up and when he put it on his plate it had lots of jelly stuff on it. Eurgh.....

No! If they float that's bad. They will sink to the bottom if they're ok.
