What Grocery Stores Throw Out Every Night — And How to Get It for Pennies

📕 The Home Savings Manual — 79 ways to stop overpaying for your own house: https://brendacarver.com/ Around nine o'clock tonight, a kid in an apron will push a cart down the bread aisle of your store and drop every loaf with yesterday's date into a bin. It's the same bread you paid four dollars for this afternoon, from the same oven. The only difference is a date somebody printed on a plastic clip. There's a window between the shelf and that bin, and the whole trick is learning to stand in it. Our grandmothers had eyes and a nose instead of a date on everything. In this one I'll walk you through what grocery stores throw out every night and how to get it for pennies: 🍞 The day-old bakery rack, and why that bread goes straight in the freezer 📅 What sell-by, best-by and use-by really mean (and the one date you always honor) 🥩 Marked-down meat, the produce cart, milk, eggs and cheese, and the deli's half-price chickens at closing 🥫 Salvage and bent-and-dent stores, the two phone apps that actually work, and the honest answer on dumpster diving …and the one I saved, the one that's fed this house for twenty years and that almost nobody does. The window is before the bin. Ask what time they mark down, and keep your money right where it belongs.
