I know this is a stupid question, but how long can I leave ground beef and chicken leg quarters in baggies in the fridge.

Lately I have been doing 5ish days in the fridge, and the other stuff I freeze. Should I bring that down to 3 days in the fridge?

that's too long, we had trouble too when we were maxed out of space. I finally had to toss some frozen food out that I knew we would not eat. 1-2 is ok, 2-3 is pushing it, but dogs can deal with food better than humans, 3-4 would be too long imo, even for dogs.

Ah ok good call. I was unsure of timespan. I can usually eat boneless skinless chicken if its in a baggie in my fridge after 3-4 days, wasnt sure about the dogs.

I just picked up 10lbs of green tripe from Texas Tripe, I was unsure if I shoulda tipped the driver or not lol

Did you really? Congrats, I still have not used the tripe, been meaning to! I never tip them, why would you?

From what I read, no more than 2-3 tops, but I have to admit, my **** sat for 4-5 days, but I had NO choice at that point. I had NO space in any of my refrigerator freezers or stand up!

I am going to try it next week when I get home. **** stinksss though. haha he just sat there and stared at me after I got it. I was like "uh I think I prepaid, am I all set" He just stared and said "yep..." I chuckled and was like "ok cool...have a good day" Thats why I asked if I was supposed to tip haha

After these last couple chicken 1/4s ill do 3-4 days max. Dont want to take chances with salmonella

Yeah it was a drop off in Round Rock. Dude pulled up in a big truck, started handing boxes to the people that ordered stuff. He stood on the back of the truck like i needed to tip him for driving or something.
