Thanks for that link. I can’t wait to print it out and show it to my wife, who is utterly insistent that food is in edible past the use-by date. The waste of money and perfectly good food aggravates the hell out of me, and maybe this will help to change her mind.
It’s a constant argument in our household. *Past date* doesn’t bother me at all, unless it is yogurt, or some dairy product.
Someone else in this household throws stuff out, e.g. Worcestershire sauce. I might use a dash of it when making meatloaf, or a gravy, but it doesn’t get used past its expiration date. GRRR! Aggravates me to no end b/c it isn’t cheap, yet I do like it on hand; I even buy the smallest bottle they make. Happy days. :)
I need to take your wife [wish you lived closer] to a darling *hole-in-the-wall* place in NH.
Basicially, it’s a warehouse of VERY inexpensive *expired* namebrand foodstuffs. These prices can’t be beat; I trek up there every month or so, and stock up; example Domino cane sugar 5# bag 89¢; Heinz seafood cocktail sauce 79¢, etc.
If you are careful and read the dates, many things are not expired. Even if you shop w/ coupons the stuff is still waaaaaay cheaper. And there is no sales tax. [bingo!]
After a holiday, the candy is very, very cheap. Last Thursday they still had some Easter candy on the shelf. LOL
Lindt chocolates almost free. 6 bucks for a 5# box of Whitmans ...and so it goes.
Several specials...buy-one-get-two-free on cereals. I found a box of Celestial Seasonings tea [crushed on one corner] for 39¢.
It’s not a place where you can do all your shopping, b/c one time they’ll have items and another you won’t see them at all. Hit or miss.
Your wife would love this place. And you’d be cross with me.:)
