Savings Zone
New Items Arrive Every Friday Morning
Where Do Our Great Savings Zone Items Come From??
We purchase through an outside company, who buys and sells overstock and closeouts of wholesome food items. This allows us to sell quality products at a more economical price, therefore reducing cost to our valued customers. All discount items are reviewed for product quality and safety upon receiving.
Most Americans do not understand product dating. Below is some information to help you better determine your food quality.
USDA estimates that 30 percent of the food supply is lost or wasted at the retail and consumer levels.[3] One source of food waste arises from consumers or retailers throwing away wholesome food because of confusion about the meaning of dates displayed on the label.
Types of Food Product Dates
● A “Best if Used By/Before” date indicates when a product will be of best flavor or quality. It is not a purchase or safety date.
● A “Sell-By” date tells the store how long to display the product for sale for inventory management. It is not a safety date.
● A “Use-By” date is the last date recommended for the use of the product while at peak quality. It is not a safety date except for when used on infant formula as described below.
● A “Freeze-By” date indicates when a product should be frozen to maintain peak quality. It is not a purchase or safety date.
