So true.  They had cambells tomato soup (the carton ready to heat and
eat version) that was 2 years past the best by date.  4 cartons for $0.99
of course I bought 4,  Nothing wrong with it at all, I enjoyed every drop. ;)

Pretty much the only time I buy beef for Andrea and Conner is when it's
at least 50% or more off.

Understandable.  Good steaks in the stupermarket are like $24 each
now.

Laugh.  Okay then I guess if it's just for form's sake that's alright. ;)
