Eggs will last at least a week past their freshness date.

Put them in enough water to cover them completely. If they float on end then throw them out. If they lay on their side, then they are still fine to eat.

Your very welcome, also just a tip buy your eggs cold not warm, not the ones sitting next to the fridge.

You better not eat them cause eat a rotten egg is toxic... You can actually have a food intoxication

Yes eggs do go bad. take one of the eggs, fill up a cup of water put the egg in it and if the egg floats, its bad.

I usually stilluse eggs even after the expiration date as long as it stay in the refrigerator and when you open it don't smell...you're going to cook it anyway.
