How long's ground beef good for in the fridge before it goes bad?

Hello there, everyone! 🍽 I just scored a great deal on ground beef and stocked up, but now I'm wondering, how long can it chill in the fridge before it goes bad? 🕰 I want to make sure I use it at its best. Any storage tips or timelines would be super appreciated! Thanks!

Yo, ground beef's good in the fridge for about 1 to 2 days, max. If you wanna store it longer, freeze it—it can last up to 3-4 months there. Don't play around with spoiled meat, ain't worth it. Just keep it sealed tight and cold, you'll be good to go.

Ground beef can safely chill in the refrigerator for 1 to 2 days before it should be used or frozen to maintain its freshness. Store it in the coldest part of the fridge and consider repackaging it in airtight containers to prolong its shelf life.

Though it depends on the freshness when you bought it, I'd say 3 days max
