Eggs have porous shells, so it's best to keep them in the carton they come in or in a covered container in your refrigerator - don't use the egg slots in the refrigerator, or they'll become stale quicker, Fresh shell eggs can last four to five weeks after the expiration date without real loss of quality as long as they're in their cartons in the refrigerator.
