Rotten chicken.

This is a strange one as the logistics get messy. Travel to woolworths steenberg 1300 who have generation thus meat should stay fresh. Chicken. Sell by 25th use by 25th. 10 minutes home and into fridge 5 degrees. Open to cook for dinner 25th. It's off. 1757 call shop. Told to keep the chicken and return with slip. Now I have no need to go there today. How long should I keep this chicken. Alternative. Already 2 calls. Drive there at cost to replace 1 pack of chicken. Dump the chicken. Write it off. Don't shop at woolworths steenberg which is upmarket? Am I asking to much for in entivization? What to do?
