Expiration dates are simply a suggestion and sometimes can be ignored all together when it comes to boxed items. We have a store in town that sells damaged goods that stores won’t sell. If a box is torn but the sealed plastic is fine, I couldn’t care less; especially when it’s 50-80% off the normal price.
I welcome Trader Joe’s offering this option. Their only problems will be if the state takes up an issue.
Don't go running to TJ's to find the option. It's the ex-president of TJ's that's opening a new store selling expired food.....under a different name, of course. It'll have no connection with Trader's.
