Do you buy discounted food ?

I agree the best time is in the early morning. Before kids hubby and I would stop and shop on the way home from the track on Friday nights around 1 am, everthing had just been marked down and then we got to sleep in on Saturday.

When I was visiting England I noticed that they have actual expiry dates and not just the useless "best before" dates so once a product passes the expiry date it is illegal for grocery stores to sell that item.

This means that any item expiring today for example goes on clearance for pennies (literally). I bought cucumbers, flowers, sandwiches and loads of stuff for 2 pennies each just because they had to either sell it or throw it away. This was at ASDA (which Wal-mart bought about 4 years ago). Same thing happens at Tesco.

I have seen A&P sell items well beyond their "best before" date and when I complain they say that it's just a rough indication of when the item is still "fresh".

We should copy England's food regulations... our food regulations are crap.
