I can only speak for myself here but I don't bother rummaging around for longer expiries because generally I'm buying food that I'm going to eat within the next 2-3 days. It just doesn't make any difference to me.
- walthamstow 1y agoEven if you're eating it tonight surely you want the freshest item? Most foods deteriorate after harvest.
- HankStallone 1y agoIt would feel socially rude of me to take the freshest item from the back, knowing I don't need it, leaving the older ones to someone who might not have time to cook as soon. Someone has to take take the one in front, or the store has to throw it out, creating waste and ultimately raising prices for everyone. Seems kinda like farting in a crowded room and then slipping out the door.
- ahartmetz 1y agoI do that, too. Why take something that I don't need, but somebody else might?
- jon-wood 1y agoMeh, most things I’m never going to tell the difference in a few days freshness. We’re very good at preserving things with packaging now, and my cooking skill is going to have a much larger impact than the ingredients being marginally fresher.
