LOL, I even carry it a step further on some items...

I dearly love Apple Wood Smoked Thick Sliced Bacon..... So when I see that they have gotten in a whole case of it at the Wally-mart, I make note of the expiration date and try to check it about 3-4 days before expiration. Usually it is well marked down - Usually get it for about 40% to 50% of regular price (which was way too much). I buy all they have and freeze it (have even canned some). Either of which stops the expiration from progressing.

Wow, that is a great idea -- I'll have to remember that; as it is, I do check the clearance meats whenever I shop, but I'd never thought of checking out the expiration dates of specific items -- to kind of "babysit" their potential clearance mark-down period.

LOL, thanks!!
