:laughing: Use by dates are a problem
Best Before dates are guidelines for the taste and quality and food can be used months or years after the date, tinned corned beef lasts for years.

I've used this site in the past. "Best before" dates are there as a guide - items may be past their prime but still usable, certainly not a health risk or they wouldn't be able to sell them. "Use by" is the one you have to watch - used on fresh produce such as dairy, meat, fish and fresh veg - and not observing these can be risky. Research it online - it isn't rocket science. If you order a number of different items you can absorb the £5.99 postal chg which covers 25kg delivery. The main disadvantage I found was that there are restrictions on how many of the really attractive discounts you can order, sometimes just two or three of an item. When I ordered some sauces i'd not heard of before to pad out the order they were vile so you need to be aware that not all the lines they sell are of the same quality as the headline deals.

After using Approved Food a couple of times i decided it was too much hassle and that it's cheaper to look out for the best deals in my local supermarket - many of which are just as cheap as Approved Food but without the hefty delivery charge.

with a 5.99 delivery charge you'd be saving just buying them at full price and in date from a supermarket :man: how's this got 78%

Balls.

Best before means exactly what it says, it will be perfectly safe to eat for several years, but the consitency, flavour or aroma may deteriorate slightly.

If you dont believe me, go look up the regulations.

Until last year, I still had plain flour from Safeway, who got taken over by Morrisons over a decade ago; keep it dry and it lasts forever..

And how much for postage ?

Never heard of the retailer and past before date? May as well pay a few pennies more at B&M they often give at least a months BBE.

The best before is there for a reason don't you agree? You should never eat food that has gone past its best before date as it could be fatal.

Steep postage

Lol delivery charge

50p a tin in home bargains if you don't fancy paying delivery and you near a H

the company owners were rejected by the dragons on a dragons den episode quite some time ago, i remember watching the programme, they had the last laugh as they went on without the dragons help and investment to make millions.
