That date means nothing. It’s a best by date, not an expiration date. It’s just the last date you can get a refund if it goes bad.
But I’ve had a gallon of milk last a whole month after the best by date.

I live in an apartment with a very small fridge that has a tiny freezer inside it. I got a small chest freezer that I use for storage. I only use the one in my fridge for freezing stuff, then it moves to the chest freezer.
Do you do meal planning and if so do your plans include your frozen stuff?
