RE: Stock Up Your Freezer With Reduced Produce!

in #blog7 years ago (edited)

All Walmart's with produce sections have these. If they have say a bag of apples and a couple are going bad, they throw those out and offer the rest at reduced prices. Or is something is close to getting old they slash the price. Walmart's have been focused as major food wasters so the reduced racks are to recoup some of the money they'd normally waste and keep the food out of the trash. Walmart's lock their garbage bins now to keep nosy reporters out so the public can't see how much they waste. I've seen them in the local news throwing out say 12 muffins and not even taking them out of the plastic..they just fire it all in the trash. Like you said tho those reduced racks have great deals if you're smart enuff to buy off em, the stuff isn't bad and freezing it for smoothies and such is a terrific idea.

My Aussie friend works at Walmart, she said it's due to the insurance policy. They don't want to be held responsible should someone gets sick of so called expired or best before date foods. Even the employees aren't allowed to take those home which they find it to be such a shame.
