Re: sell by date ?
Most cheeses are stood to mature for months and in some cases years, they cut teh mouldy crust off and you get whats inside, just cut and mould off and it will be fine, particularly if you are cooking with it. The only ones that I would exclude from this are the unpasteurised cheeses.
Fish and shellfish are big ones to avoid. I prefer to get fish as fresh as possible.
Steak etc, most supermarkets hang their beef for ~7 days, the good stuff for a bit longer, foodies will use Beef hung for a month or longer.
