Its going to get extremely extremely extremely bad. Try like a war with people fighting rioting looting over not being able to afford anything.
But mind you we all must continue to be slaves to this beast system

Ginger says:

Americans can't afford their own groceries and bill's as illegals stand on the streets begging for help. Way to go Biden.

MY Problem with the MEAT Items is how many times has the expiration dates been changed BEFORE this LAST Expiration date is added???

Mobile Tech says:

It tastes a little bit different??? Are people really this stupid that they eat this garbage?

Dave says:

Glad I moved to MX great food still cheap

Christopher Rotondo says:

The illegals crossing the border get fresh foods only . Dumb Americans keep voting Democrat.

cHuckleberry Finn says:

Took the family to the zoo, but when we got there, we found that the animals were no longer there . Quite unfortunate, as the kids were very hungry.

Christopher Rotondo says:

Some sealed foods can last years after expiration dates

Robin Rae says:

I live near an Amish settlement. There are a couple grocery stores they run that sell discontinued and dented/damaged products. Most items are in date still but are very cheap bc of the dented/damaged, discontinued. Lots of people are shopping these places. Ex: Box of branded cereal $1.75 in date just a box that's been crushed.

lothean says:

If you go to Walmart, you can buy their clearance food and freeze it. If you have a food saver you can store most food for over a year.

BitterSweet says:

Can foods literally last forever.

Lord Kefka says:

Thanks to Brandon and that cackling witch Americans are going broke while the migrants and their freaking spawns are treated like royalty!!

KMF 3000 says:

Past the Best By date is just that Best By. Can food is still good long after that.

Bex1959 says:

This reporter should be ashamed of herself. When do you think this reporter has been in a grocery store?

Honest Mike says:

Under Trump you could afford food that wasn’t expired. #ThanksPotatoJoe

Melody Godbey says:

Very sad while Walmart is throwing away perfectly good food. By design

LeeAnn B says:

Used to work in sales…expiration date are a farce for most product. It’s just to get you to buy more

J bundles says:

That’s sad!!

Keith Hoss says:

Ninety percent of expiration dates aren’t even close to when food becomes inedible.
