Milk will keep in your refrigerator one week past the sell-by date.
Eggs stay fresh for three to five weeks after purchase. Store the carton in the body of the refrigerator instead of the door and they stay fresh longer.
Bananas can be stored in the refrigerator for up to five days. The skins will turn brown, but the fruit will stay fresh.
Bread should be stored on the counter for up to a week. Storing bread in the refrigerator causes it to become stale faster.
Steaks and ground beef that have turned brown but have been in the refrigerator less then five days are safe to eat, and just as tasty.
