I just threw out some stinky chicken from the Sainsburys in Sydenham.

I do a big shop at the beginning of the week and I now put all the fresh meat and poultry straight into the freezer unless I'm going to use it the same day. Otherwise it will be off within a day or so, whatever the sell-by date. I was beginning to think there was something wrong with my fridge. The fridges in the Savacentre are extremely cold so something is going wrong with the storage further up the line.

With meat it's easier to see if it has gone off before you open the packet and if that happens I take it back for a refund. I'm going to contact Sainsburys head office and suggest other people with the same experiences do the same.
