Mrs. Hillman: I remove everything in the refrigerator that's "expired". I acknowledge the scientists, nutritionists, and health professionals hired by the manufacturers to determine the "use by" dates. Then I smell everything... declare it fine... and pop it right back in the refrigerator! A hundred specialists are still no match for one mother's nose.
I spend the extra on the organic milk because it’s good for almost 2 months. I throw the organic, ultrapasteurized milk out because it never ends up getting used by the date. I don’t mess with milk. If it’s at that date, it goes down the drain, at $4 a half gallon! If there’s no milk in the house, that’s when I NEED it for something. I can’t win.
Sorry I previously wrote about milk above in a confusing way. I should have been clearer.
