No, actually, you don't know how lucky you are in the UK. The food quality on offer in UK supermarkets (most of them) far surpasses what's generally available over here in the Wal-Mart ridden Americasour supermarkets are just like American ones
... or even better I'll join the dole que so I have time to sort through the shelves before putting in in the trolley.
Why is it every week within 2 days I'm having to throw out food, today we binned Scones, muffins, bread & crumpets despite only buying them 2 days ago & this isn't a one off, its every time within a few days of doing a large shop.
Well, they sell what is possible at the price point of the product. I'm quite happy for people to buy everything at supermarkets; myself, I'll yes, of course do most of my shopping there, but for specialist items / times I want decent food, I'll buy it from an independent/specialist place, which of course costs more because you get what you pay forSupermarkets are scum, and they sell junk.

eg there's a market in town every other weekend and the food is awesome![]()
are the tiger paw buns/bread in asda fresh? or "baked" from frozen? anyone know about morrisons to?
you can eat most tinned foods years after the best before date, they wont taste as good as they once did but they wont harm you either.
I thought the use by date and best before date meant the same thing.

They are. Its the sell by date which is different.
