    I don't think you need to adhere quite so strictly to 'use by' dates on yoghurts - I often eat them when they're a few days over - and I'm not dead yet!

    I can't eat a yoghurt after it's use by date either. I'll eat other stuff, just can't face a yoghurt.

    I do believe there are 3 organic carrots going a bit moist and black. If they're ok, I might cook them for tea. Thanks for making me remember them.

    My fridge is always a place where things lurk beyond their "safe" by date, never mind sell by date! I'm always ashamed when I discover ex-cucumbers floating in the salad drawer, or solid lumps of cream,etc. Fortunately I have a pretty poor sense of smell - tho' if it were better maybe I'd detect things when they were still edible!

    3 little pieces of manky peppers. Now thrown away. and a rather sprouting garlic may still be able to save that.

    The frozen yoghurt is a great idea.
    I've just used up the last of some okra which said use by/ best before 6th May and a slightly wrinkled bit of green pepper, both went into a risotto sort of thing with some other veg, tomato puree and a tin of sardines.

    I also have some mouldy strawberries (waste of time buying them half price then!) :(
