Unless I'm using meat the day I'm purchasing or the next day I always freeze it. Here are some guidelines on optimal use of frozen meat:
Once frozen meat is thawed, the microbes come back to life and continue their life’s work, which is to multiply and consume. The safest way to defrost frozen meat is in the fridge, the microwave or a bowl of cold water. A rule of thumb for defrosting frozen meat in the fridge is to allow one day for every five pounds (2.27 kilograms). Defrosted meat is safe to refreeze as long as it was thawed in the refrigerator. If there is a power outage, frozen meat should remain safe for approximately two days in a closed, full freezer and one day in a half-full, closed freezer.
Theoretically, when meat is frozen correctly and maintained at the optimal freezing temperature, it should stay good forever. However, it is hard to guarantee, particularly with home freezing, that the meat will remain safe and of good quality for eating. The following is a list of how long most meats can be frozen and maintain a high quality.
* Bacon or sausage: one to two months
* Ham, hot dogs or cold cuts: two to three months
* Raw roasts, steaks or chops: four to twelve months
* Raw ground meat: three to four months
* Cooked meat: two to three months
* Raw, whole poultry: one to two months
* Raw poultry parts: nine months
* Cooked poultry: four months
* Raw, wild game: eight to twelve months

If you froze it, it can be kept in the freezer up to 3 months. When you thaw it, cook it the day it is completely thawed
Yup it is still good. When stores put Sell By:2/2/11 it doesn't necessarily mean it will expire on that date, it just means they have to sell it.
Even if was expire today,I will give 5 days extra for the beef,Because it's already in refreg,So nothing will happen to you :))
Yes it will be just fine. Ground beef is good ( if frozen right when you bring it home) for about 6 months after the sell-by date.
Use it today! make tacos, chili,hamburger helper, etc...
Yes, if you froze it as soon as you got it you will be fine.
