We go around the edges of the store and get the used food. The stuff with the orange Manager Special sticker.

We hit the used bread, swing to the used veggies, grab the dented cans of veggies in back, grab the used milk, and then clean up on the used meat.

We grabbed about 20 cans of deodorant, usually $2.89, a buck apiece, used.

Save 1/3 to 1/2 buying used.

USED food? USED deodorant? I think you might mean “stale” or “distressed” - but USED?

Just a thought.

Usually stores are set up with what’s fresh and edible in the shape of a U..I’ve always shopped the U formation mainly because everything in between is mostly processed foods.

Good for you. We have the same sense of humor I see. Damn! I thought I was unique with that “used” bit. I could never call a loaf of bread “day old”. Was always “used bread”, or “used cake”. Anything on the “blowout” table was always “used stuff”.

Mrs. RQSR, and myself are the type that have specific purchases, and that’s what we go in, buy, and get out. Always have. Browsing the stores is NOT entertaining to us. Shopping for groceries is a job neither of us relish.

Did you say “Used food??” I am sorry, but there are some things I just can’t buy second-hand....

I am finding the stores are now limiting variety of brands and going to smaller and smaller sizes.

I am noticing more lists and there is one truth they are skipping.

who wants to waste time in a grocery store? grocery shopping is not a fun event. it is akin to cutting the grass or taking out the garbage. Also smaller families, singles in particular eat out more at about the same price if you factor in the absence of any clean up.

Lol, I call anything with an orange sticker, close-out, or expires in two days, "Reduced for Quick Sale" or "Cheapo". I've started referring to other items as "Reduced for Quick Sale" also, even if it doesn't have the orange sticker.

I have noticed my local Walmart's expire the next day baked goods are now only 40% off the original price, rather than 60% off...harrummph.

But you need to watch out for that brown (supposed to be red) meat. And those with the tons of spices and pepper that blanket it to cover up the smell.

‘grab the used milk’-—

Excuse me, but what is used milk?

And used deodorant? YUCK.
