RASPBERRIES AND BLACKBERRIES · IN THE FRIDGE
2–3 days
Two days. UC Davis puts caneberries — raspberries and blackberries both — at two to three days at 0°C, and describes them as among the most perishable fruit grown. This is not a food you buy on Sunday for Thursday.
These are quality windows drawn from published UC Davis storage research — an estimate of how long produce stays good, not a safety date. If the package carries a printed use-by date, that date governs.

Near the end of the window?
Buy them for the day you want them, or buy them frozen. If you already have a container that needs using, cook it: raspberries collapse into sauce in about four minutes and that keeps far longer than the fruit did. Freezing fresh ones works and buys you months, but you are freezing fruit that was already two days from the edge.

Ranges are as published. Treat the short end as your real window — grocery produce is already days past harvest, and a cooked dish starts its clock at the stove.
Looking up your groceries one at a time is a hobby. A bad one.
Savery scans your grocery receipt and tracks these windows for everything you bought at once. The spinach, the strawberries, the milk you forgot about — all on one shelf.
