Lays extra cheese.
Normal price 15.50
Discount mark down 5.50

Expiry date 18/5/25

I just bought

Will /k buy?

why not?

Lotuss got... Donut, cakes and bread... Cheap cheap

i sure will sapu few of them

First look at conditions Like no mould, or out of shape or no weird smell .
Then store in freezer to extend expiry date .

Cheese past expiry date lagi sedap

Owai

No issue for me, but I usually go for the drier stuff like powdered drinks or teabags.

This guy would:

Yes. I bought bunch of fruits nearing expiry for RM3x and I can use my slow juicer to feed >10 pax during party

dry stuff should be ok one, snacks, sweets , noodles etc. raw meat i tak mau

alot of these "best before" or "expiry dates" are just suggested only

they are actually very resilient in their sealed packaging. especially when it relates to processed food like chips in your case.

i once drank 2-3yrs old dried oolong tea bags and i dont recognise any changes in taste or quality, but it was kept inside my pantry well la

add on if you put things inside fridge it lagi lasts almost forever in cold temps

less processed foods are much more susceptible however, though if stored in freezer it technically can last forever but with changes in texture and taste

yes, it's keropok....even after expiry date u still can eat

i bought many almost expired food at massive discount...even until now

Beat before
Expiry

Both abovr are different
Best before - if cheap nearing the date - i dont mind
Expiry - gimme free i also dont want

One time I bought milk still got days left but still basi lol

yes, dry items usually no-brainer

Expiry is a way in order corporate to push consumer to dump old and buy new. Most item if not all can be use even after expiry.

How about essence of chicken 5 years past expiry. Anyone dare to drink?

only for near expiry expensive chocolates

Yea.
Nobody going to say you miskin if you buy clearance item also

This thing is not meant to be consumed.
Its a gift for other people you hate, then that oher people secretly give to other and so on.

Damn, so cheap? Mana???

Why not. The dates usually best before dates. Some don't even have expiry dates.

Dried processed food no issues. Canned food depend on can condition. SPAM lasts forever. Frozen foods also no issues if you don't mind texture and some taste changes and it's kept frozen.

Technically, these will last years past due date as long as the container/packaging is not damaged.

Tesco/lotus great to shop for clearance items. They have some premium imported products going for cheap.

Dry foods no issue usually
I've had instant noodles > 1 year expiry

If you can survive mamak food, yeah, no biggie

if potota chips then no, always find out if near expiry date 90% will soggy

Yes except dairy stuffs imma abit more wary.

I go to bargain bin to treasure hunt for stuffs I wouldn't try at full price.

I'll take it.

I do it all the time.

Always find discounted items at aeon supermarket

Will not buy. I have experienced a few product where i bought but did not consume until it is 3 months from expiring.
The taste become off. Some examples are, instant coffee, granola bars.

I sometimes wait till 930pm for paris baguette clearance sale

they are very hard to find also, because very fast sold out, last time i remember got such sale in lotus and i bought M&M chocolate for RM1 each (normal price was like RM4+), expiry in 1 week, i took many packets and finished it within that week right before it expired

Nowadays I’m even open to eat expired food lol. But those I bought and terlupa then expired la. Not those ppl bagi me expired.

I’m not opposed to buying near expired food. I park it under “experiment”. Experience food that I don’t normally will buy. Experience if the food still stay good.

Most still retain it taste. Some biscuit might taste different already. Seafood no need say la. It don’t feel as fresh so I seldom buy. Like those frozen lamb still ok. But you sendiri see the condition.

If its bad, at least it will be a kopitiam topic of experience to talk with friends lol.

Why not , I drink close to expire milk regularly .

Yes to product that made in preservation manner ie: pickles.

Woi, I thot ktards are T20.

Why buy near expired food?

expired date = no
best before = yes

Yes. Boughted beer past bbd. Less than RM2 per can, like fucking come on that's no brainer

No see whisky sell like this with steep discount after 5 yrs 10 yrs.. padahal, lagi naik harga

NO LA. SO CRAZY. YEERRRR!!!! GELI. TS PLEASE DONT BUY AND STAY AWAY.

Thing tak i frequently bought with discount nearing expire date
-olive oil. Even if it expired it still useable
-cheese. Nahh me, my son, dotter, wife love cheese. It will be finish within 2 weeks. Also if it expired still can eat
-fresh milk. Well for 1 lt, today beli, tomorrow can finish.
-imported chocolate. Kalau dia jual dalam quantity banyak and murah i just bought and bring to office. Belanja colleague

if condition still okay and discount is good enough why not?

Klu ada option. Xmau beli nearly expired foodie.

depend on what food

like instant noodles even expired 1 month also can eat 1 ..as long as seal pack

some product will use best before instead of expired date

if raw egg even close to expired date also tarak mau

Dried in package food is ok. Transparent packaging wet food no.

Junk food usually can see being sold cheap once nearing expiry.

I think everyone will always look for factory clearance to buy stuff like this.

Processed food/snacks sometimes can last way longer than expiry date

Last time I like to go tk the discount section ... try new snacks.. tak sedap is ok at least cheap n I get to try new snacks, plus dun reli feel wasted since its gonna expire soon anyway

The thrill of shopping for something cheap.... even t20 can't resist....

Reminder to never attend ur party
