Eggs will keep longer in the fridge if they are not put into the egg racks in the door, they get shaken around umpteen times a day and the temperature fluctuates on them each time the door opens. You will be surprised how long they are perfectly useable after the use by date has passed, as was pointed out in a previous post you can tell if they are still fresh of they don't rise in a bowl of water, if they do there is a build-up of gas in them, if they lay down they are fine for baking etc
