True or False? To get the freshest milk and other products out of the refrigerated dairy case, reach towards the back because that’s where they put the newest (aka freshest) items.
True. Whether they stock from the front or back of the case, the best way to tell if something’s fresh is to check the expiration date. But, if all of the dates are the same, the items in the back will be “freshest” because they’re furthest from the door – which is always being open and shut by customers.
True or False? To get extra savings wait to buy products the day they expire.
False. Unless you plan on using them within hours, you’re taking a pretty big risk buying soon-to-expire food. If the grocery's rot before you have a chance to eat them, you’ve wasted the entire cost of your purchase.
True or False? The “end cap” items at the end of supermarket aisles are always the best buys.
False. Sometimes, those items are on sale, but sometimes, they’re just the ones the store managers want you to buy. Look carefully to make sure they’re really on sale before adding those items to your cart.
True or False? The cheapest items are usually on the lowest shelves.
True. This is a supermarket tactic is tried and true, and even if your store doesn’t use it, it’s used often enough for us to suggest that you don’t ignore those bottom shelves! You never know what you’d find down there…
True or False? Even though they’re on sale , dented cans should be avoided.
True. It’s tempting to look at a dented can of tuna that’s over half off and think, “What harm could a little dent do?” The truth is, a little dent could do a lot of harm, potentially letting air into your food and causing food-borne botulism. So, to be on the safe side, steer clear of dented cans and find your bargins elsewhere.
True or False? It’s always cheaper to buy in bulk.
True. Of course, this is definitely true when buying non-perishable items, and particularly if your family includes more than one person. But don’t buy perishables in bulk or you could be wasting – not savings.
