dried figs are wonderful! that is, if they're fresh (not old and hard, no moisture left in them).
oh, how sad... but something to look forward to, to buying more.

We get them at a mennonite store that has out-of-date food, factory seconds, etc. at a really cheap price. We go about once a month, get a two pound fig bar pack, it's gone in ~2 weeks.

If you live in Pennsylvania anywhere near Lancaster County theres a good chance there's a BB's close by. BB's a common "second hand" food store around here, although the one we go to is called Hornings.

when the kids were small I baked, cooked, made jams, made granola etc. I stopped when I'd got divorced and the kids were in the army. No point for me. I made the hot milk cake at 5am as I couldn't sleep. After I washed up I made mac and cheese for the 3rd time in my life. I'd better get more ingredients in for the nights I don't sleep. Problem is my back. It hurts a lot when I stand for sometime. Still it all came out b tasty

Our grocery store sells out of date food, it drives me nuts. They aren't supposed to, but they do.
I don't know anything about the law in Canada but I know that is a big no no in the U.S. I know the supermarket I go to drastically reduces things like dairy and bakery products when they are close to the expiration date. I have seen milk gallons as low as 99 cents because they are within a couple of days of expiring. I don't get them because now that it's just me I use very little milk mainly just in coffee and the occasional bowl of cereal.
My friend contacted them about it and their answer was "if it says best before, it means just that...that it is best before that date not that it is expired" and they will still sell it in their clearance section. They claim they pull all the expired food but they don't. I found expired mayonnaise on their shelf a couple months ago that was marked at 50% off. I was annoyed because I needed it but didn't want to buy expired (I had bought expired mayo from them about a month before because I had forgotten to check the date but it was a different one). I asked them on Facebook about it and they said they would remove it right away and later that week it was still there. When I told them again, they deleted my post. A lot of people complain about them selling expired food and it's a very expensive grocery store. I don't like going there but it's our only option other than this really small store or going into the city.
I have no idea! I have a lot to learn about apples, it has been years since I've eaten any variety more than rarely. All I really know is that I don't like red or golden delicious, that northern spy is the best for pie, and I also like baking with granny smith and the green apples we grow ourselves with our container apple trees

is there any government agency that you could report that store to? it sounds like all they'd have to do would be to go to the store and look on the shelves to easily see expired foods.

Too bad..
You can really find some good stuff at Horning's, but it's like Goodwill. If you're too rushed, you don't find much.

I bought some cans of Nature's Variety Instinct duck at Petco last week. All my cats love their duck. I got out to the car and happened to look at one of the cans. It expired in February. I was so mad. I went back into the store and returned it then went back to the aisle and all the NVI duck was expired. I told the girl in the aisle who couldn't care less so I brought it to the manager's attention. He removed it from the shelf. I still have some Merrick duck pate that they like but they prefer the NVI. It was a good thing I noticed while I was still there.

Our Safeway does that too if it's going to expire soon they mark it 50% off. Or if they can't sell it.
