>>21415757It's not even that. This alarmist lady seems to think that whatever the cheap anons are buying are all expired or soon to be. Not everything in the manager's special section is. I routinely buy household staples like trash bags or TP from that section that gets marked down because the box/bag was slightly damaged. I have so much dishwasher detergent because some douchenozzle cut open the shipping box with a deep boxcutter, putting a barely-there gash into the detergent boxes themselves. I also get pantry staples and shelf stable stuff. I find pasta for cheap there all the time. 60 something cents for a pound of organic, unexpired pasta is a good deal. After holiday candies are sold for a song. For some reason, my local supermarket carries a lot of Jew shit despite never selling any of it so it all winds up in the discount section. Latke mix for a quarter. Falafel mix for fitty cent. Kosher-for-passover macaroons for 75¢. Can't beat that shit.
I bought some nooch a while ago for only 50¢, 90% off. It doesn't "expire" until summer 2026 (forgot the exact month). Why was it on clearance? No idea. I can only guess that it's unpopular in my area so they decided to cut their losses and free up some space. I've personally seen some cheap juices in that section but only bought one once, some 100% organic blueberry juice. I think I posted about it at the time with questions of what to do with it.
I don't remember how much it was, just that it was comparatively cheap for what it is and it doesn't expire until this December. I still haven't opened it but I think I'll use it at Thanksgiving to make blueberry cranberry sauce.
Oh, and lightbulbs. I bought a fucking case of long lasting LED lightbulbs for 19¢ per, iirc. I forget how many there were in there but I got them right after I bought my house so... 13 years ago. We've used five so far lmao
Manager's specials are great if you're not a retard.
