PSA -
Check dates, people.
I'm convinced it's just me, but the more life I live, the more I come to the conclusion that common sense is just not so common.
I went to my Jewel last night to buy crap-ton of mushrooms. Long story short, two weeks ago, the same Jewel had short dated bulk Italian snausage for 99c/lb, so I bought and froze a bunch. Now I'm making stuffed mushroom caps with it.
Anyway, I saw another "99c" sign in one of their meat cases, and it was for AlFresco brand ground chicken in vacuum sealed 1lb pkgs. Only 3 left, and all had white Jewel stickered sell by dates of May 7. SWEET, right? Well, since it's MY jewel, and I've seen some things, I looked at the MFR inked sell by date. 2 were indeed, May 7, but one was - I shit you not- November 21, 2021.
Just a few seconds earlier, one of the meat counter workers let me in on a few better marbled chuck roasts than the ones I was milling over, so I brought the severely outdated pkg over to him, and shared a laugh. A few years ago, I would have just snapped another picture for Instagram or Facebook, and put the pkg back.
Check the dates - never know. Having jacked up dates is STILL better than the Dominick's that used to be on Kimball and Belmont. Their "short dated clearanced meat" specials still bring a laugh to my face. On several occasions, I brought home things that were green and fuzzy on the bottom, and death smelling once the pkg was opened.
We cannot be friends if you do not know the difference between Mayo and Miracle Whip.
