A.P.
we regularly keep items in our freezer LONG past the best by date. Two things to keep in mind - it's a "best by", not a "rotten by" date.
Second, the best by date is an artificial guess at best. The worst that will happen is freezer burn, and that you can see before you taste. Otherwise, we freeze meat and use it up to 3 years later! We buy beef and pork straight from the farm and have used it (and tasted wonderfully) 3 years later. We've also kept store bought lunch meat, cheese and hotdogs for 2 years or more.
It's all good, but just keep an eye on the freezer burn. :)
