check the dates hun. if anything has a use by date of today use it today - don't freeze it - you need to use it now - even if you make stuff to freeze - if you take into account it needs to be used today, you need to use it otherwise by the time you defrost it, it might be no good (kwim?)

i get annoyed at food with limited use by dates as well - yeah, it makes sense that on the weekend they've got the end of line stock there, but honestly, they should reduce the price when it's only a couple of days, so that you're aware from the nice bright stickers that you have to do something sooner!

we get our meat from the same butcher all the time and know the limits of how long to use it - we bougth on sat as well - today the last of the meat will be used and then meals frozen. it sucks that things are so "disposable"

cook up the mince (or mix with grated carrot and some rice) for the dogs - willbe good for them. not sure how much meat you got, but if it's a bit, cook it up and freeze in meal sizes for them.

next time, tell me you've been shopping and i'll bug you on msn every couple of hours til you put your meat in the freezer lol!
