Another rip off the Safeway locally does, is put stickers on meat saying "cook today $2 or $3 off" ... Meaning it's near expiration.
Yup I got burned by this just last week, it was a container of store made cheese bread. When taking it out of the bag at home I notice the "enjoy tonight" sticker. I ate 6 huge pieces of cheese bread that nightAnother rip off the Safeway locally does, is put stickers on meat saying "cook today $2 or $3 off" ... Meaning it's near expiration.
OK, well that was started by a large chain discounter. I'm not too proud to admit I've bought quite a few of those over the years.
But at Safeway, if you look close, those have higher $/lb rates entered...catches the impulse buyer, I guess...who pays full rate. That said who knows if the meat is older than the rest on display or not.
