Store your sour cream and cottage cheese containers upside down in the refrigerator. It will be good long past the expiration date. I've used mine long after the date.

Since Merlene's question hasn't been answered yet, I'll ask again: Does anyone know WHY storing the container upside down makes a difference? Thanks!

Totally works, I get sour cream for .19 or .29 a container , 10-20 containers at a time (using coupons of course). And I have gotten them to last 2 months past the date. Upside down really works! And cream cheese too.

Thank goodness to see this hint in print. I have told people in the past about this & they think I'm nuts!
It really does work and really prolongs "shelf" life of sour-cream & cottage cheese!

I don't know about using it after the expiration date. As Rachel Ray says There is a reason for a date being put there.

I've used mine long after the expiration date and have not stored it upside down. I'm curious why upside down?
