See if they sink, if they do, they're still good, I reckon you can get a couple more days out of them.Morning. I need to go food shopping but just remembered I bought 12 eggs last month with the intention of making omelettes but I just forgot about them. They officially expire today and that’s far too many for omelettes. Shall I just hard boil them all?

Eggs are good for weeks after their expiry date. Like Rachey said, if they sink they're still good.Morning.

Mandy is someone who will take every BBD literally. If a bottle of sauce says use within 3 weeks, she won't touch it if it's been open 3 weeks and a day. Whereas I just sniff and look.
Many times I've cooked her food that's a few days past it's use by and she's not died. But I've also never told her.
Sausages, scrambled eggs and cheesy beans, so close enough.
Dirty mare....I’d take just a sausage in bed to be fair![]()

I always ignore Best Before dates, but Use By dates are a little more scary.
No black pudding?
So the supermarkets can say that their eggs will last 1 week+.Why do eggs have a sell by date of a week before their expiry? I’ve never understood that…
I always used to buy my eggs from the market so they never had sell by or use by dates on and just came in grey trays. Easily usable for a month and often longer than that.Eggs especially seem to last AGES after their best before date I find![]()
Heinz state on the bottles that their ketchup and salad cream should be refrigerated and used within 8 weeks after opening. I have never refrigerated either and just carry on using them for the next six months or until they run out, whichever is sooner. It's a con to make you buy more often.Mandy is someone who will take every BBD literally. If a bottle of sauce says use within 3 weeks, she won't touch it if it's been open 3 weeks and a day.

Oh I do refrigerate mine, but yes will happily use them for months. I had to throw a mayo bottle away last week that has separated and looked disgustingHeinz state on the bottles that their ketchup and salad cream should be refrigerated and used within 8 weeks after opening.

Mr F would throw food out on the day the packet says.
