I was in the middle of making dinner when this happened. I’m grateful I poured it into a measuring cup first. Thankfully I don’t live too far from another source.

I remember milk staying good almost a week past its expiration date when I was a kid. Boy have the times changed.

    Even without adjusting the thermostat, those cooler doors are being opened and closed thousands of times a day, there’s no way everything inside stays chilled. Not to mention the folks who grab dairy products then leave them next to the beer or electronics when decisions were made…that milk with an Oct 31 date may have sat under a heater vent for hours before someone put it back in the fridge.

      They’ve decided dealing with listeria outbreaks a couple times a year is cheaper than running the fridges colder.

        They have driven out other grocers and created a food desert monopoly in some rural areas but yeah sure, let’s blame the people buying food and not the mega corp.
