    How long can freshly squeezed lemon/lime juice be held?

    I agree that freshly squeezed lemon juice should be consumed within 1-2 days. I like buying the frozen "Minute Maid, Pink Lemonade Frozen Concentrated", it tastes good, fresh and stays in the fridge not less than 5 days.

    Chicken in the fridge too long?

    Make the grocery your last stop before going home. At home, immediately place chicken in a refrigerator that maintains 40 °F, and use within 1 or 2 days, or freeze at 0 °F. If kept frozen continuously, it will be safe indefinitely.
