We throw it away the day before it goes out of code, except produce which is donated to our local zoo. :0008

Feed it to the pigs. It makes them fatter for bigger ribs! :0003

I know a lot of people that do this with expired food and leftovers. The pigs do get bigger and meatier. My father in law from the Czech Republic does this, slaughters the pigs and sells the meat to his friends or the local supermarket. I think this is very resourceful.

Throw it away where? In your dumpsters?

Seems so wasteful. Are there laws about giving it away? Like giving it to shelters that feed the homeless.

There has to be good use for that stuff.

I forgot about bakery goods which we give away to shelters. We are usually 30 days out on non fresh goods and mark it down in price to get rid of. We have several different disposal methods, not just the dumpster. Have to be careful about donations and the possibility of making people sick.

Depending on the item you send some back to the warehouse and you get credit for it. Damaged or out of code. Most own brand products you get zero credit on it so hopefully you can catch it in time and put it in the reduced for quick sale rack or give it to food share. Alot of product to cover so keeping track of it all is impossible but overall we do good. Betone, who do you work for? Albertsons here.
