Cheap food. Buying it on the expiry data on the pack.

I thought I would share this. Not sure if it's applicable on a global scale but sure it must apply in some countries. When we go shopping for groceries - twice a week- we never ever pay the full price for food. We have done this all the time we have been together. We go to the store when we know the stuff going out of data on that day is going to be reduced by an average of 90 percent. It's amazing the amount of money we save and it's all really good qualitybstuffcwe buy. Tonight for instance before we went for our motorbike ride we spent the princely sum of £4 - meaning that if we had paid the full price the bill at the hill would have been £40. Years ago before these best before dates and use before and display until dates we used common sense about what was still good to eat and what wasnt. Anyway we have found that most of the chilled goods we but keeps fresh in the fridge long past these guideline dates. It's amazes me that so many people think that as soon as say a pack of bacon or a pack of eggs or block of cheese or milk reaches the best before date that it needs to be chucked out because it will be off. What nonsense. Milk is good a week later. Cheese a month maybe longer. Bacon etc etc. Microwave stuff is ok for a few days. Pies etc a few days. The list is endless. Fruit also and veg like carrots and potatoes. It's only the top of the range stuff we buy so I reckon we eat very well every day. Can you buy food like this in your neck of the woods? If you can but never have - would my post persuade you to try. Some of the bargains are amazing. Tonight I got a £10 Gammon Joint for £1. Milk at £0.09 for two litres. Blocks of really good quality cheese at £0.19 Some decent ready meals at £0.29. Grapes at £0.19. All good stuff. We have never been ill. We recently had friends over for a meal. Soup and bread for starters. Duck in a mixed bean sauce with assorted fresh veggies was the main course. Trifle for desert. It cost a total of £1.50. Our guests were amazed. My friends wife went shopping with my wife and she is a convert now!! We saw her tonight basket full of bargains. So do you do this at all. If so what sort of stuff do you buy Next time I will post a copy of the till receipt. UK reader's - try Morrison's. Usually around 7pm.
