The first thing that comes to mind is a big plastic bin filled with burnt burgers for 4 for a dollar.
Edit: I guess I was thinking more prepared/restaurant food.
The same food you’ll see at the dollar store.
expired candy bars
Slightly expired MREs.
Nice hiss not included
Canned rice.
That’s such a weird thing to can but it’s a thing in the US.
Ive never seen such a thing and I’ve lived here most of my life
I saw it living in the southern US a lot.
canned food just at or past the expiry date.
Taco Bell, but not from like an actual Taco Bell, from one of those food court “express” ones with the limited menu that’s always out of something like sour cream.
A thrift store selling food sounds like the food bank after a canned food drive.
Can’t believe no one has said fruitcake yet
Grocery discounters exist. They sell expired, distressed (torn labels, box tears, dents), test-marketed foods that failed, overage, etc.
Or see the Manager’s Special section in your favorite supermarket.
I guess I was thinking more prepared/restaurant food.
Check your supermarket deli for discounted foods at the end of their “best by” time.
Leftover snacks, of course
Stuff that would be thrown away otherwise? Its crazy how much regular stores throw in the bin.
Go container guys! Dumpstermap.org
Breadcrumbs
I rhink I’ve heard them called freight damage or scratch and dent grocers but this is already a thing.
half finished bags of trailmix
The local ones have a freezer with ice cream novelties, much as you’d see in a convenience mar. I assume there’s a business synergy of having kids who have to look through 500 slightly differently sized used “size 12 jeans” to find the ones that fit, and buying their compliance with desserts.
That sandwich is made of recycled old sandwiches.
