I use Cravendale Skimmed milk in the large 4pint? size containers. |

It's because they use ceramic filters to remove more of the bacteria that makes milk go sour - although I don't think I would have used it 14 days after the use by date. Milk doesn't last that long in our house anyway. We go through 4 x 4 pint bottles a week. |

I don't like the taste of semi skimmed The milk I was using had no smell or taste, it was fine, as I am now on my oen and don't eat cereals so use little milk really I just went on using it, to be honest I didn't check the date until I washed the container. Been drinking Cravendale for years and never had a problem with it. It would have been wasteful to throw it out while it was still ok. |

If you can still catch it, wind it back. That is the way I live. |

I drink uhomogenised full milk, which comes in pints or litres, and isn't sold in the local shop, so I end up buying 4 bottles, using about 2 inches, then freezing it. |

Well, I have been fine and it has all gone now Von. All I have is about half an inch in tea or coffee. |

That 3-4 days plays right into their hands as if you throw it away and you then need more they get extra profit. |

Believe it or not I am actually usually very careful of expired dates. |

I get 2 x 6 pint cartons delivered with my order and check the date when they arrive. If I think we won’t use it all in time, I freeze some of it in little 1 pint bottles. Skimmed and semi-skimmed freeze well. I’ve never tried freezing full cream milk. The only thing is you have to remember to take it out of the freezer well before you need it. It takes ages to defrost naturally. |
