When it comes to other foods, I sometimes feel if you can cook it really hot again, you will kill all of the bad bacteria. :o)Smelly milk-- in the trash. >25% of the chesse molded--trash. I do think companies put exp dates on products so we will buy more, faster, so I try to be judicious.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6552850995649485516.post-51715343188679696202010-02-04T16:34:44.817-05:002010-02-04T16:34:44.817-05:00I follow expiration dates rather strictly especial...I follow expiration dates rather strictly especially when it comes to milk (I won't drink it if it's within 2 days before the date!). I do eat left overs though, which I am usually really strict about (have to be eaten within a couple days), but occasionally I keep food at Jarvis UMC in the industrial fridge and I'll eat it almost 2 weeks later. I guess I really just go by smell and looks.Rebekah Jeannehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14131005554960489003noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6552850995649485516.post-7469776522133054132010-02-04T15:19:50.166-05:002010-02-04T15:19:50.166-05:00First off - this was hilarious!!

I have to agree with you though - I am a rule follower to the core, so I throw things out one day after it expires and occasionally will eat left overs, but only one day after. My husband on the other hand, sounds like everyone elses! He could care less! The other day he used whipping cream that expired in October - ugh:(Lindseyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02406224072066863200noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6552850995649485516.post-10036796569604759002010-02-04T10:25:49.461-05:002010-02-04T10:25:49.461-05:00This is the first time I've realized you have ...This is the first time I've realized you have a blog Michelle! Yay for blogging! I'm so relaxed about expiration dates I'm starting to think I'm living in the wrong gender! I think Mark is more strict than I am! I'm careful and I smell stuff...but I think after living in Britain where the expiration dates are ridiculously strict, and I ate stuff past its date all the time and was fine, I think I've decided to use my own judgment instead. Nine day old barbecue chicken though... I don't think I'd go that far. :)Caroline Colliehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10481221773984739010noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6552850995649485516.post-5984460581635554042010-02-03T22:15:52.566-05:002010-02-03T22:15:52.566-05:00I think it may be a gender thing.

It could be in the fridge for a month and he would still think it was perfectly fine to eat! Where I only do left overs about one day old then its straight to the trash.<br /><br />Ok, that was WAY too long!As for Me and My Nest...https://www.blogger.com/profile/07324921409648095828noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6552850995649485516.post-8069830171957913682010-02-03T16:40:00.660-05:002010-02-03T16:40:00.660-05:00Oh, I take expiration dates seriously and won'...Oh, I take expiration dates seriously and won't even eat left overs. Period. But, I'm a rule follower by nature and am uptight about most things. Since being married to Seth (and having kids) I have RELAXED tremendously.... his easy-going nature has rubbed off a little. Which, is a good thing for everyone involved. :)The Lewis Familyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00665381063016569494noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6552850995649485516.post-31320612061328065492010-02-03T14:31:32.335-05:002010-02-03T14:31:32.335-05:00Woah!

This sounds like me and my hubby! :p I am very much straight laced when it comes to expiration dates.. where as Ray, he doesn't care.<br /><br />While we were dating (long distance dating), Ray would take leftovers from a restaurant and put them in his car on one weekend.. And when I would come back to visit the next weekend they would still be there. If I tried to throw it out, Ray would stop me and say "No no.. I'm going to eat that!" This was after it sitting in his car (in July!!) for a week!! Sooo gross! I finally broke him of that habit but he still doesn't follow expiration guidelines :/Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
