I'll buy things like Diet Coke that's cheaper because it's reached it's sell by date.

What I hate is buying something at full price which is fresh, at full price, only to find it has to be eaten that day.

Supermarkets do it all the time as part of their stock rotation. A root to the back of the shelf/fridge and you'll find the same goods at the same price, but with up to another half a week of shelf life.

It makes me feel more of a hunter gatherer doing this, or more a rooter and rummager I suppose.
