Shelf Life of milk depends on how long it's been sitting out side of fridge that's above 36F degrees.
So, let's say your milk's "leave store by" date is tomorrow and you had it for about a week. Your milk will be good to consume for about a week after the "leave store by" date.
as long as it's been sitting at 36F degrees or below. meaning, you don't leave your milk out, pour it and put it right back into the fridge. then you are good there..
On the other hand, when you leave your milk out above 40F degree temp every 30 mins, it'll loose a day or so of it's shelf life.
So, rule of thumb, put it back in fridge after you are done pouring, and throw it out after about 5~6 days of it's leave store by date.
and of course, taste/smell check is good too, as long as it don't taste sour/bitter/too "buttery", should be good to drink.
Or, best way to go about it is...don't buy gallon of milk if you don't plan on drinking it all by leave store by date.
PS: Yes, I am bored.
