    use by dates... when should it be eaten by?

    is it the date shown or the day before? I bought one of those prestuffed and marinated chickens from coles on Saturday (yesturday) with the intention of cooking it tonight. The use-by date is the 20/12 (tomorrow) and I didn't cook it tonight ... will it still be ok to cook it and eat it tomorrow night?

    TIA ladies
