I know that I have mentioned this before, but I feel it is worth mentioning again. If you are stocking up on groceries, like you plan one big shopping trip a month, you need to check expiration dates.

In high traffic stores, you shouldn’t experience any problems with expiration dates, as the food tends to move so quickly, but there still aren’t any guarantees.

Here is the scenario: A store employee notices a box of cereal in the back that is set to expire in the next few days. Naturally, they will move that box to the front of the shelf.

You don’t want to be that shopper that picks of the cereal with the fresh by date of only a few days away, especially if you didn’t intend to start eating it for a couple of weeks.
