Yeah! Some supermarkets have slightly damaged or nearly out of date things on a reduced shelf, but a lot just chuck it out. Seen it before when I've worked at supermarkets on Saturday and temp evening jobs. Seems especially bad when there's charities that feed the homeless etc. Sure things like meat, fish and dairy stuff could be dodgey to sell or give away, but there's plenty of things that would be ok. But worse than that is things like veggies and fruit that aren't the correct shape, so don't even get to the store and are dumped! I'm sure some people would buy them if they were at a cheaper price?!Originally Posted by grahamw48
Consider how much perishable and out of date stuff gets tipped out the back door every day though.
