I take "preserve the value and the tag" to mean "preserve the attribute name
and its value".
So assuming what you are looking for is:

<BoughtStuff BestBefore="19May2000">Nestume</BoughtStuff>

then try:

....
<xsl:template match="BoughtStuff">
 <BoughtStuff>
    <xsl:attribute name="BestBefore">
       <xsl:value-of select="Milk/@BestBefore"/>
    </xsl:attribute>
    <xsl:for-each select="Milk">
 	<xsl:apply-template select="Brand" />		
    </xsl:for-each>
 </BoughtStuff>
....
</xsl:template>
....
