Purchased some boneless skinless chicken breasts from the store on Saturday with a sell by date of 2/2. Do I have to cook these tonight or will they last until tomorrow? Seems most people say 1-2 after purchase.

I would think they would be safe until the sell by date. Heck, maybe even a day or so after the sell by date could be OK. Isn't a fridge colder than the open meat racks in grocery stores? I've bought meat and kept it in the fridge for about a week or so before cooking it.

They should last until 2/2 if refrigerated.

Seriously, go by the date on the package. That's why it is printed on it.

does the grocery store have a better fridge than yours? I would think if they'll go till 2/2 in thier fridge deal then it should in yours.

Smell test it. I usually go several days past "sell by" on whole meat. Ground meat is different.

I agree with everyone but this says differently. I honestly don't think it would be an issue. I just wanted the opinion of you fine people.

Am I missing something? Sell by date is 2/2...a week away...and you are worried it will go bad in your fridge over the next couple of days?

So yes, it will last until tomorrow... and the next day... and the next day... and the next day.
