Eggs actually keep very well. They can sit at room temperature for a good three weeks and still be fine. In the fridge, months.
Rumor has it that the eggs bought in most stores are already some months old. The best bet is to buy them fresh from a farm and refrigerate them ASAP.
Milk keeps much better at colder temps. We set our refrigerator low, until the milk freezes. Then we gradually bump it up until it stops freezing when left in. It’s about 33-34. Every degree above freezing shortens the shelf life of milk significantly.
