If it's not stale or moldy it's fine! I'm more nervous about dairy, meats, etc.<br /> And agree with @blackbird: I also put more weight behind an expiration date vs sell by/best by. Sell/best by are just when the store has to take it off shelves. Doesn't mean it's bad. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/you-have-a-loaf-of-bread-the-sell-by-date-was-yesterday/page/2#post-1902786 Thu, 16 Oct 2014 06:15:45 +0000 rachiecakes 1902786@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Thanks for weighing in!<br /> I come from a household where my mother made the most of everything and was very conscious about not being wasteful.<br /> My husband thinks my mother is cheap and has thrown out lots of good food on me.</p> <p>I told him last night that I took a poll and only 5 out of 140 people would have thrown it out :silly: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/you-have-a-loaf-of-bread-the-sell-by-date-was-yesterday/page/2#post-1902752 Wed, 15 Oct 2014 23:45:25 +0000 fairy 1902752@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I eat it if it isn't moldy or stale - I can't stand wasting food! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/you-have-a-loaf-of-bread-the-sell-by-date-was-yesterday/page/2#post-1902601 Wed, 15 Oct 2014 20:11:07 +0000 blackbird 1902601@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@rachiecakes: </p> [attach=618/14/ndijaj.338x600.image.jpg] https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/you-have-a-loaf-of-bread-the-sell-by-date-was-yesterday/page/2#post-1902506 Wed, 15 Oct 2014 18:42:21 +0000 cyndistar3 1902506@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Considering I don't even go by the use by dates most of the time I would certainly eat it if it didn't have mold or other signs of it being bad lol </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/you-have-a-loaf-of-bread-the-sell-by-date-was-yesterday/page/2#post-1902436 Wed, 15 Oct 2014 17:21:32 +0000 Snowdrop 1902436@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My DH used to be like that but now he is much better.

He used to waste a lot of perfectly fine food and it drove me crazy to see waste like that! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/you-have-a-loaf-of-bread-the-sell-by-date-was-yesterday#post-1902187 Wed, 15 Oct 2014 14:00:21 +0000 mamimami 1902187@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Eat it... I'd eat it probably up to a week after "sell by." Or freeze it. Sell by is not the expiration date! Usually when I buy meat, the sell-by date is the actual date I buy it, or the day after. So by his reasoning I would never get to consume anything. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/you-have-a-loaf-of-bread-the-sell-by-date-was-yesterday#post-1902172 Wed, 15 Oct 2014 13:52:04 +0000 Kimberlybee 1902172@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>There are lots of uses for "a day old bread". I would still toast it and make a sandwich if there is no mold. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/you-have-a-loaf-of-bread-the-sell-by-date-was-yesterday#post-1902168 Wed, 15 Oct 2014 13:50:49 +0000 bunnylove08 1902168@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@rachiecakes: I would put the bread in another bag that has a different sell by date just to mess with him LOL </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/you-have-a-loaf-of-bread-the-sell-by-date-was-yesterday#post-1902163 Wed, 15 Oct 2014 13:49:26 +0000 rachiecakes 1902163@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@bunnylove08: er, I don't cook much, but he does! :silly: I guess I have no say in how fresh food is then? haha </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/you-have-a-loaf-of-bread-the-sell-by-date-was-yesterday#post-1902161 Wed, 15 Oct 2014 13:48:15 +0000 birdofafeather 1902161@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@rachiecakes: We put ALL our bread in the the fridge!</p> <p>If it's not moldy, I eat it.

Honestly, we have totally eaten non-moldy slices of bread that are among moldy slices. I'm not sure what protocol is on that, but we haven't gotten sick from it lol. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/you-have-a-loaf-of-bread-the-sell-by-date-was-yesterday#post-1902011 Wed, 15 Oct 2014 12:46:13 +0000 Purpledaisy 1902011@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>If it's not moldy I eat it. Sell by dates aren't expiration dates. </p>
