I found perfect pre-packaged brocolli (I don't normally buy pre-packaged veggies) that were going to expire in 2 days. I asked if they would knock down the price - he was happy to - $1.79 to 25 cents! These stores have to throw out expired items... and any money they could have made too!
I get milk half price milk 4 days before it is set to expire - it's worth it to check the dates!
Grocery Spending:

Excellent advice. Two things:
1) I just want to remind you to be cautious. Expiration dates are there for a reason. To put it simply, chemicals break down into something else, (ah, chemistry) and because of this, you may think you are buying something when due to natural chemical reactions you are actually buying something else that is potentially harmful. However, to ease your mind, expiration dates are generous. But please throw out the 2-year expired medicines!
2) Who do you ask for the discount? Do you just ask the cashier, go to the service counter, find a manager?
Don't worry Amy.. I wouldn't buy anything too "old". Just check the dates.. ask the cashier for a discount (they normally will have to call the manager) Depending on the item some store will start marking down items up to two months before they expire! Last night I bought oreos for 75% off because they expire in 3 weeks - don't worry - they won't last that long :)
