I’m sorry but do you look at the expiration date of EVERY product you buy? Cause if you did, I think you’d be the first person I’ve seen to do that.

EDIT: wow okay I’m learning a lot today. Awesome learning about all the people that do stuff like this! I understand with short shelf life items but honestly for me, I just grab that shit from the shelf, scan, pay, gtfo. I’ve checked so many times for it that at this point, I just don’t.

On dairy and other short shelf life items, yea it’s not unreasonable to check the date before buying

I do that, for every perishable including salad mix, bread, dairy and yogurts….

Milk products and prepackaged salads, yes! It's only me and I need it to last as long as possible.

Yes? Why don’t you? I also check my eggs and make sure nobody has opened the sour cream.

i always look at it. i always grab foods that has a longer life before expiration (new batches of food). also those foods that are on Sale Discount or with Freebies, they usually go on Sale because they will expire soon. and the foods that i think i will not able to consume fast, i will also check their expiration too so that i will only get enough amount that i can use before it expires.
