Regular milk never stays in my refrigerator long enough to go sour. Buttermilk, on the other hand, I've found lasts way longer than its expiration date. :) Won't take chances with meat though.

This causes me to go absolutely bat-s**t crazy. I too subscribe to the "if it ain't green, it's fine" theory of life, and with milk, if it smells a little questionable, it's time to use it in baked goods before it becomes chunky. Oh, and an expiration date on cereal or canned goods? Rubbish.
