Several of the grocery stores I frequent absolutely do this with a lot of things. They'll usually have something like a clearance section with things on their last few days. Its usually a good place to find a cheap loaf of bread or some kind of desert that's about to go past its sell by date to eat that night. The tricky part is those sections usually aren't refrigerated so its only shelf-stable stuff. But they do often have "sales" for fresh goods even as good as buy one get two free which if you look at the goods on "sale" its sell by dates are all within a day or two. But hey, buy a big thing of berries and invite some friends over.
