Milk

[lummy 4]

Kay, now some of y'all may have noticed that Milk has gotten downright expensive. We have 2 and a half teenagers who can go thru the stuff like it's going out of style. The problem is that every once in a while, I'll buy 2 gallons and Skye will do the same (yeah, we don't communicate our milk runs very well) and will have a gallon or so with the SELL BY date

I've always felt that the "SELL BY" date is just the day it has to be sold by and is still good for about a week after. The OTHER half swears that it's bad as soon as the sell date and is pouring it down the drain at 5 in the morning.

Smell it, milk is good way past the sell by date, hell if I can get it out of the carton/bottle, I'm gonna drink it.

It does a Body Good..

Cow milk is only good for baby cows. Instead you should be feeding the family beer. It's healthier.

Good point... But if I give them Budwieser (putting aside the "Bud's not Beer" arguements) after the "Freshness Date" date would I be a bad parent?

I thought Bud had a freshness date, not a "sell by" date. Get it right damnit!!

Okay.. here is the OTHER side of the story

The "sell by date" is March 13. We still have half a galllon in the fridge with that date and then we had TWO more gallons. Now by the time we get to drink those, it's going to be more like March 16/17. So I left the half gallon in there and poured out the two gallons.

I don't mind being an over cautious mom and having to pay $5 for two gallons so that I don't have to stay home with a bunch of sick people.

Life is too short. Don't sweat the small stuff.

Yes. Bud doesn't have any nutritional value anyway. You have to get microbrew beer. It's packed full of vitamins and minerals and it'll put them to sleep after dinner.

That makes sense.

Oxygen is a big part of what makes things go bad though so I'd keep the full ones and drink them right away, like within a day or two, and dump the one that's open already.

OR... bring them to the dz and stick them up at manifest. It'll be gone in a few hours if you throw some oreos up there too.

I see your point, Plus if it's a Wheat beer, that will satisfy some of the grains category for the daily nutritional needs.

I agree with you. Milk is gross and meant for baby cows.

I dunno but I find it hard to trust anyone who sneaks around at 5 in the morning checking "SELL BY" dates on the milk containers

And I'm up by 7 votes

I can't sorry. My uncle had a dairy. Every once in awhile an udder thingy would fall off and hit the ground and they would pick it up and clean the cow and the udder but.... do you REALLY think commercial dairies actually do that? Don't think so. I bet that milk is really 10% cow poo or more. Just my little milk conspiracy theory. And that is all. Cookies anyone???

I have a son with a bone disease. He drinks a gallon a day MINIMUM. I drink at least a half gallon a day.
I don't think there has ever been an ounce that we have thrown away..

SELL By Date is exactly that. It is not a drink by date.

Why yes, my license number is a palindrome. Thank you for noticing.

Answers:
Sell date - The final date the product should be sold. It allows for storage time at home. Examples of products that display sell dates are refrigerated dough products, luncheon meats and milk. This is the last day that the product can be sold in the grocery store.

Recommend Storing Milk between 34° F and 38° F: Milk stays fresh and tastes best longest at these temperatures, and will often be of good quality beyond the sell-date if maintained cold. Much depends on how a product was handled before you bought it. Milk past its sell-date may still be fine if it's been kept very cold. At warmer temperatures, spoilage bacteria are more likely to grow, shortening the practical shelf-life of the product. Always return unused containers or portions of milk promptly to the refrigerator.

Buy milk fresh, keep it cold and protect It from light. Though properly held milk should still be acceptable beyond the code date, milk does not improve with age and will not be as fresh tasting. Unopened containers of food can be kept longer than opened containers. Opened containers of milk can be stored in the refrigerator for 1 week after they have been opened. Be sure to check the date on the carton.

Then there's also that whole "Bleeding for 7 days" thing.
