    Am I the only one who checks dates on stuff before putting it in the trolley?

    Contact Environmental Health (part of your local council) and they will send someone round to have words with the store manager.

    A smiley always helps when you're winding people up. ;)

    The 'roll-eyes' smiley would have been perfect if that poster was joking.
    I'm not sure he/she was. :cool:

    We went shopping in Sainsburys on Friday and bought, amongst other things - a steak and kidney pie - sell by date 29/08

    ie) past the sell by date.
    We only realised today when it was a planned meal !

    This would not be the first time that this has happened in Sainsburys - in fact - earlier in the same visit, my wife pointed out to a staff member, a pack of prepacked ham that was 2 days past its sell by date !

    You do realise you should be looking at the "Use By" date not the "Sell By" date because that is just for supermarket stock control.

    You seem to have omitted to mention what the Use By date was so i'm assuming it was within that date and your making a fuss over nothing?

    Usually go for the sell by date as they are reduced in price. pop in freezer eat in 6 months time LOL.
