These dates include WIDEEEEEEEEEEE margin errors. Meaning they are well aware that people will go over so they put earlier dates and such.
With milk you can go past the date by a couple ( say one or two maybe more ) weeks and you'll be fine for the most part. ( well if you've had the milk opened for 2 weeks it might already be bad days before the expiry date :P )
One trick some of you may not know, when you buy some highly perishable items ( fruit, vegetables, juice, milk and such ) ALWAYS get the stock that's at the bottom of the lot; it'll be the one that'll last the longest.
Stores tend to rotate their displayed stock and always keep the oldest items on top ( that is if the shelf stocking person does their job properly .... )
