I've lived in households that went through a lot of milk, and am very much aware that if you don't open the jug and keep it well refrigerated it stays good considerably passed expiration date.
Big tip with milk(really anything dairy), only ever remove it from the fridge as long as you have to, do not ever sit it on the counter. I only ever take mine out with a cup prepared to fill, and it goes right back in the fridge when I'm done, it's a sort of "fridge etiquette" I taught myself that really does lead to less waste.
A few details to some of the questions:

Some companies put expedition dates based off when they think their food will taste the best. The FDA does not regulate experation dates on most products. If you buy food and don't eat it right away it's better for the company if you just buy another product even though it may still be good.
