    Hey, I asked a butcher this before and he told me that if it's not vacum sealed (pre packed from Dunnes etc) then you are better off using it the day after you buy it. I wouldn't think it is ok to freeze now because isn't the rule "freeze on day of purchase" - I think anyway! What I normally do is buy say 20euro of mince and freeze in portions, you can cook then straight from frozen - before that I was constantly throwing away gone off meat. Hope this helps :)

    3 or 4 days as a rule but smell it, you should know when it goes off if it starts to smell. If you're not going to use it tomorrow or the following day at the latest then freeze it.
