What do u do with Friday's pumped milk?

This was my first week back to work and I've been pumping at work and leaving that milk for LO to eat the following day. Since I'll nurse LO this weekend, what do fellow working moms do with Friday's milk? Do you freeze and then thaw for Monday's use, or do you keep it in the fridge for Monday?

TIA

    I would keep it in the fridge for monday.

    We are rotating freezer stash so I free the week's leftovers and use frozen milk for monday.

    to keep your freezer stash current, and non expired, I would freeze it, and then pull out frozen for Monday.

    I freeze it.  Although, my baby wouldn't latch for 3 months and so I EP'd and honestly I'm just in the habit still of pumping.  So even on the weekends, I end up pumping 3-4 times a day so I can always get my Monday's milk on Sunday.

    This! Or I keep a little out if I plan to be out and about over the weekend and want to give DS a bottle.

    I keep it in the fridge for Tuesday. I'm on a schedule where I actually pump two days ahead (what I pump on Monday is for Wed, Tues for Thurs, etc). I feel less stressed about trying to make enough for the next day when I do it this way.

    I don't have much of a freezer stash, so I would keep it in the fridge for Monday.

    BF is supposed to be good for a week in the fridge, though I don't know if I'd personally go that long with it.  I would just keep it in the fridge until Monday.

    I keep it in the fridge.  Sometimes I use it over the weekend and replace it with weekend pumps.

    Keep it in the fridge til Monday.  Don't freeze it, that'll shorten its lifespan.

    I also freeze it and will pull older frozen milk out for Monday.
