Today a person was telling me that she was so shocked to see how cheap various items were at a supermarket just before the store was closing up. For example, items such as freshly packed meat. She was saying how just a few hours before the product was about 70% more expensive. That is not uncommon as in many cases businesses would simply throw them away and so it only makes sense to try and sell it to make at least some money. I guess a pizza restaurant would be the best example as you don’t exactly want to keep a freshly baked pizza overnight and then try to re-heat and resell it the next day.
I often find that local grocery stores that sell these types of items are usually the best place to find these types of deals as large franchises usually have these very black and white rules on how they must simply dispose the items. Usually that is to prevent people from abusing it such as employees purposely say packaging more in the day just so they can get it at a discount later. Good way to save money though for the regular consumer.
