It shouldn't be a problem, David. If the meat is in a cryovac package, they'll easily survive in the fridge until next weekend. No worries. /infopop/emoticons/icon_smile.gif

Built into the "sell by" date is a reasonable time after that, to prepare them. If they are sealed in cryo and kept cold in the fridge, I woudn't worry about a few days.

... as long as they're still tight in the cryo. If the cryo is loose, indicating that air has gotten into the package through a small hole of some kind, then you need to watch it a little more closely.

Speaking from experience...
