So on Friday I went to canadian tire and bought an old el paso taco kit, it was reduced to $3.00 from $4.19 with a coupon inside.. so i was like.. hmmm SCORE... i get home and check the coupon and it expired A YEAR AGO!! and i checked my receipt and paid full price., pissed off i contacted general mills regarding this... I then check the expiry date of the food, YEAH 9 MONTHS EXPIRED!!! im so happy i noticed that and didn't eat it, my family would have gotten food poisoning. General mills contacted me after i told them how upset i was that i was sold 9 months expired food at FULL PRICE! and asking if i should contact canadian tire myself... all they said was
"Our promotions are planned for a specific time period. Although we try to estimate the number of specially marked packages needed for these offers, we occasionally overestimate our need. We regret the inconvenience incurred by this situation. We will mail you an adjustment for your purchase. Allow two weeks to receive it.
Again, thank you for contacting us. We hope future General Mills’ promotions will be of interest to you.
"
furious, i called canadian tire head office, and told them about this matter. also told them they have 2 more expired boxes on there shelves. they are sending me a $10 gift card and said they would take this matter very serious and would be sending this to the case manager and contact that location themselves.
soooo furious with the lack of responsibility on general mills behalf... and the fact that they just blew this off like it was only a promotional matter..
9 months expired food, ARE YOU KIDDING ME... promotional matter?? that's a freakin health hazard.... so unhappy.
