Our local supermarkets throw out expired baked goods and deli food every day, and so does the Walmart.
You would think they’d have a rough idea what percentage goes unsold and gets trashed — and cut back accordingly.
If they can’t do that, they could always donate that percentage to the local food pantry, an hour before they’re required to dump it in the trash.
But they don’t. These items go on clearance racks after a few days, and then to the dump. Stupid, inefficient, wasteful, AND sinful.
My favorite thing is when they knock the price of high dollar aged cheeses down 75% just before they toss it out.
Its been aging for 2 years and they mark it down after a month because its about to expire LOL
