    The health department recommends not keeping food for more than 7 days at 41 F or 3 days at 45 F. Perishable food should not be stored above 45 F.

    Eggs keep for a long time in the fridge. In some european countries they dont even refrigerate their eggs, they keep them in a cupboard and I know they will keep that way for at least a week or 2. As for in the fridge, if you are concerned that your eggs moght not still be good, put them in a pot of water, if they float Throw them out

    I have my groceries delivered. I have my eggs for at least 2 months as I buy at least 2 dozen at a time. I haven't had a bad egg in 50 years. I can't be just lucky. They may be old but they are still good and taste good with no ill effects.

    Why do the food manufacturers and advertisers want us to shop every week and throw out everything we didn't use the week before?

    On the side of the carton is an experiation date. You should look at this everytime you buy eggs, then use them up within that week.

    At least a month in the fridge, I like to buy mine a two weeks ahead of time to age them for hard boiling. So holding them for just a week is not realistic................

    I keep eggs & use them weeks after expiration too. Never had a problem. As soon as you crack a bad one you will know.

  • until they turn rotten of course
