Some supermarkets gives discount on the grocery if it passed 8 PM.
But i mostly bought them fresh in wet market nowadays.

its illegal for stores to sell out of date food

yes it is

They mark down the price when the food is approaching the use by/best by date. Once that date is reached, it goes in the bin because its illegal for the store to put it anywhere else

Pretty sure it's not. There was a discount grocery store in my area years ago that always had expired food on the shelves. Most of it was fine, but I'll never forget one year finding Christmas Captain Crunch in like April 2007 that expired in 2005...

Not according to this link. Might be different in other places in the US, but at least in LA County it's legal

USA has shit and dangerous laws then. Selling expired food is illegal in countries with better consumer protection

Nah, I'm fine with it. As long as you have a brain and can look at expiration dates on food, you should know what is okay to eat a bit past the expiration date. Plus, it's always cheaper too. I used to get beef jerky and beef sticks dirt cheap because they were expired.

I'm speaking moreso for discount grocery stores. Those are the ones you generally check the date for.

i dont care for arguments like that. its better if businesses are regulated to an extent they arent allowed to sell expired food.

There's a place in my area called Bargain Hunt. They sell boxed food that's near or past the expiration date. I got boxes of the Cracker Barrel macaroni and cheese for like 75 cents each.

There's an Amish store back home that sells exclusively expired food and shit that fell off of trucks or was damaged in the shipping and stores didn't want it on their shelves.

Used to work in a grocery store. Expired stuff was a hard no no. Even stuff that was close dated couldn't be sold.

i don't think they're allowed to sell stuff that has expired
however, i often buy stuff that will expire soon, as they get like a 30% discount, and the date doesn't really matter that much
