I've found it varies by where I get it from. The big chains around
here charge big money and the turnover must be low. After 2-3 days it
gets slimy, gross looking and stinky. The smaller places always have
lines at the counter and charge less than half of what the big places
charge. The meat can usually last close to a week.
