I bought butter that was a whole month out of date from a well know supermarket too. I telephoned the manager and I insisted that I wasn't going to travel back with a carton of butter and they left a 20 euro voucher at the customer service till to be collect on my next visit.

Hi Clubman
Yes I realise that Happy_Harry's chops were in date but gone off and this has happened to me before. But another poster said they bought butter that was out of date by a month and I was just making the point about people checking dates on purchases. I know I always do and especially lately with bread. Many's the time I have come across bread that is still on shelves and is out of date either that day or the next.
Can I ask do people not check the dates on products before they put them in their basket or trolley or is it that everyone is in such a hurry that they just dont bother. I
I usually check date and ingr. What drives me bonkers when looking for date, usually says best before see top,bottom or side. Why not put it right beside 'best before', boggles the mind.
I always check the date on fresh produce - dairy, meat etc to make sure I'm getting the best date available. While supermarkets don't want to have out of date produce on sale, they naturally want to sell foods with a shorter date before food with a longer date and so push it to the front. So many people just pick up the first item on the shelf without even checking it.
