I'm always very attentive to the note "Best before..." Also I usually try to take products that are carefully packed... It's a kind of quarantee for me... :) Hmmm...I guess there is nothing else special!:)

Kim_Berly, well, the rumpled (i think, this word) packs of, for example, kefir, but drinkable (I mean the date Use Before), are not danderous. But if you buy some products in cans, for example, some fish, be careful: in most cases products in rumpled cans are inedible, 'cause the pressure and sphere inside are already broken, and it's very dangerous for health.

Jelllyjam, if the pack with "kefir" is rumpled, it can be accidentally pierced... And evil bacteria can be INSIDE! ) So it can be dangerous to drink! I prefer my products nicely packed ;)

Kim_Berly, I didn't mean a big defect) But, of course, I like nice packs)

to tell the truth, earlier i didn't pay much attention to it, but when i live with my boyfriend (this happens only twice in a year) it begins to be actual for me and for us, i become more careful not only with the quality of the products, but also pay great attention to the price ;)

Jelllyjam, the hole can be tiny! eg my mum bought a yoghurt and when we opened it....((( There was an awful must in it...((( Yuk! And only then I noticed a tiiiiiiny hole on the cover! :P

Kim_Berly, oh, disgusting!

Have_nothing, ok, I can understand why you pay attention to the price, 'cause you live together. But why do you pay more attention to the QUALITY?

Jelllyjam, the thing is that when I buy products just for me, I can make a mistake and buy something wrong ;) this is me and nothing wrong can happen with me ;) but you know, I can't be risky with the man I love :)

Have_nothing, oh, it sounds so beautiful) But take care of yourself)

Jelllyjam, I do :) but not so much as of my boyfriend ;)

Frankly speaking, I myself don't choose any products. Somebody always helps me to choose:)

Roxana_Siren, maybe "I by myself"? And who usually helps you?

Jelllyjam, oh, yeah... My mother always helps me. My cousin also can help.
