Do you think these eggs are still good?

Need some opinions on this. I am cheap, so if something is still good I want to use it. Case in point is this dozen eggs I bought a couple weeks ago. On the carton it says BEST SOLD BY MAY 14TH. Ok, today is the 19th.
How long do you expect things to last after their "best sold by" date? Would you still eat these eggs?
A couple people I have talked to say about a week. I am kind of scared of eating rotten eggs. What would you do ? How long after the BEST SOLD BY date would youcontinue to eat these?

You can break them and see.A week past date should be ok

I've eaten eggs around a month after the best before date.
A very easy test is put them in some cold water...if the float they're probably bad if they sink they're probably ok...this has always worked for me

Put them in a bowl of water, if they sink or stand on end they are ok to eat, If they totally float throw them away.

I usually let eggs go about a week past the date so for me those would be fine Maezee.

I never notice the expiry date on the egg cartons. Ours often stay in the fridge for about a month (if no one needs them). So far, I have never got any bad egg yet.
