What the hell kind of useless fridges do you people own? Mine is set to barely above freezing, so I usually buy meat once a week then cook it 1-6 days after and I've never had a problem; the whole POINT of refrigeration is to keep food from spoiling.

People traditionally hung poultry outside (guts in) for up to a week to age the meat, and you guys are worried about it being in a fridge for a couple days past the "best before" date? Leave it wrapped up until you cook it, then cook it thoroughly - which you should be doing anyway - and it'll be fine.
