When I saw this sign that read “food items beyond this point have passed their expiration dates,” I thought to myself, now this is a grocery store that puts quality and their customers first. Not many places do this. Most of them would be foolish enough to throw out expired food due to the fact that someone might get sick from it or that they could get sued. That’s really stupid of them when all they need to do is put up a sign like this one did. Hey, we put a sign so that makes selling possibly bad food A-OK. It’s kinda like when someone puts on the hazard lights on their car they feel that act alone entitles them to park anywhere they want regardless if it’s a no parking zone. I wonder how that car owner would feel if I put on a baseball uniform and that meant I could take batting practice on their head and tail lights? I’m sure they’d have a problem with that. Ok, I’m getting off topic here. Back to business.
I bet you this fine establishment also offers the best in cockroaches, and dead rodents in the corner the shopkeeper beat to death with a broom the day before. I can just imagine the feces smeared on the walls and the front window … and the food someone took a bite of but didn’t like so they put it back on the shelf. I wonder if this store has a section for half eaten food? If it’s half eaten then that means it’s half price. Wow, what a deal! I think I’ll buy two. Doesn’t it just make you want to shop there? Yeah, me too.
If anyone knows the address of this place please pass it on to me cause I have some friends coming over for dinner tonight and I’d like to serve them a nice hot bowl of botulism with a dash of salmonella.

Well…it can’t be all bad. If it is an item that you plan to eat within a day or two and it is a fraction of the price, then maybe it is okay. Twinkies last for 30 billion years, so those could be okay too. But don’t buy expired dairy products. Yikes. Some store tried to sell me really bad you

I think they’re banking on the fact that bcoz of the economy crisis, ppl will be so tight with their $ that they’re willing to buy cheaper expired products.

This is of great concern to me…we recently had an E coli outbreak in our city … 251 people getting sick with 50 confirmed E coli cases…all linked back to a restaurant…while this is not quit the same it still concerns me.
Better to be safe than save a few dollars, when you KNOW the item has expired!!!!!
Cheers
