How long is milk good for after it has been opened, if left in the fridge?

We recently cut back on the amount of milk we drink and I've had a gallon open in the fridge for about a week now. Is it still safe to drink it?

    we use ours for a couple of days after the expiration date. if it smells okay taste some...doesn't have to be much just put a little on your finger...it wont make you sick because it's just a little. my grandma always told me to do that. she's a very smart woman...especially when it comes to food and drinks.

    Cream cheese can final for a week or extra, as long with the aid of fact the equipment isn't opened. Eggs additionally can stay un-spoiled for a week or extra even out of the refrigerator, in accordance with how heat the home is. 60 is larger than 70 needless to say. the interior an egg is sterile. Milk can go bitter in an afternoon...if the ambient temperature is interior the 80s or warmer. yet interior the opened refrigerator, there is not any hazard of spoiling that quickly. The sniff attempt is maximum suitable.

    I drink the milk until it gets that funny taste to it. Usually about a week after the expiration date or 2 weeks after it is thawed.

    I store my milk in the freezer til I need it. It is a long way to the store - an hour and a half then back again an hour and a half! Can't run to the store just because we run out of something.
