Saidto the girl filling up the floor stack "these say..." she said"yes I need to take the ticket off" i even told her they were were different looking. When i got out pulled the packet over it was out of date 15th june. Went back in asked for a supervisor the cashier looked at me like i had askedfor the moon.stopped a guyon the shop floor and said what date is it?

Well done you, like your style, they will get away with it if they can.Slimming World at target0

Whilst I disagree with the sly intentions, the fact of the matter is that the food was probably still fully edible and has now presumably been thrown away, extra food waste.
You really shouldn't shop in home bargains if you care about dates on produce. Bargains and dates don't mix well, things are often cheap because of dates.
Also crisps take about a month before they go stale.0 -

You know it's weird I went to B+M the other day in Hull, also had excess stock of these for 69p down to 35p and I too was overcharged but didn't kick up a fuss, just got a refund
