Have never been to Stab’n Kill very often. My family was in Cedar Grove/Neponset for 50+ years. Still a decent place to grow up, even though a lot of Southie types bring their white trash ways with them.
it depends what’s in the meds, if there’s anything that will go bad. many last well after expiration. some lose some potency over time but do not go bad.
I will Post a link to the song.

On the way home, Sunday afternoon, from Scouting trips, we often eat fast food. If we're in a hurry, we eat in the cars/vans.
A Scout I'll call Alex - because his name is Alex - rewrapped and tucked 3/4 of a cheeseburger in the map pocket behind the passenger's seat of my car.
In about ten days, I had to do a thorough inspection of my car because the odor had been becoming unbearable for a couple of days.
Maybe it was the bacteria from his mouth, but the remaining 3/4 cheeseburger was quite fuzzy and green.
I rebag my bulk dry goods into brown paper lunch bags inside of gallon freezer bags and give them a several week trip through the 0C deep freeze.
Have had no issues wrt bugs since I started that.
YMMV.
“Are you and Joe brothers?”
What do you mean?
Don't go running to TJ's to find the option. It's the ex-president of TJ's that's opening a new store selling expired food.....under a different name, of course. It'll have no connection with Trader's.

You’re traderrob and it’s a story about Trader Joe!
Apparently, they outlast the company that makes them.

Gotcha, sorry a bit slow on the uptake.
“I bet you will see more working middle class families at this store than the poor.”
My experience with many poor people is that they are poor because they feel entitled to the best of everything.
My experience with the middle class and the lower upper class is that they are not poor because they economise and it does not hurt their feelings to not have the best clothes, car or house or eat expired food.
Puts hair on your chest!
Feel free to add you own pictures of expired food!
Combined PING! and DANG!
The process of determining real degradation in medicines is too long and expensive. Therefore, the drug companies check them for a period and, if they’re good, put that period of effectiveness on them. But you can’t depend on their having a longer life. Some expired drugs will kill you.
I buy my meat that way and just bring it home and freeze it until ready to use.
Something I recall from my Mom with canned goods. No dents, no dings, no bulges, and no leaks. Long before we had sell-by dates people learned to tell good from dangerously bad.
• Best if used by and use-by date: With emphasis on the best qualifier in this term, it means the product should retain maximum freshness, flavor and texture if used by this date. It is not a purchase-by or safety date. Beyond this date, the product begins to deteriorate, although it may still be edible.
• Expiration date: If you haven’t used the product by this date, toss it out. Other dating terms are used as a basic guideline, but this one means what it says.
• Sell-by or pull-by date: This date is used by manufacturers to tell grocers when to remove their product from the shelves, but there is generally still some leeway for home usage. For example, milk often has a sell-by date, but the milk will usually still be good for at least a week beyond that date if properly refrigerated.
• Guaranteed fresh: This date is often used for perishable baked goods. Beyond this date, freshness is no longer guaranteed although it may still be edible.

I think they sell more drugs if they have a short expiration date.
So? Bring it on; I’ve eaten food from cans that expired 5 or more years ago, made tuna fish salad with maynaise that was about 3 yrs. expired.. Those dates mean nothing, the manufacturer puts them on, it’s not regulated by the fda... they’re not talking about perishable food here like meat and fish, mostly canned and maybe bread-stuff that’s a couple days past. There are stores by me that sell deserts, chips, etc. that are passed their due date...
Food expired? Don’t be so quick to toss it
