I just saw it on my google feed. Martie sells food that’s overstock or close to expiring or has labeling errors and sells it for 30-70% off. You order it and they ship it to you. The cons are that some of the food may be expired and shipping costs may negate any savings you have. Plus you have to buy a minimum of $40 each order. It seems to be legit and got both good and bad reviews. I would try it if I had a bigger place, I don’t have room for $40 worth of any food.

It would be great if they took Food Stamps! I actually order some food on Amazon that’s cheaper to buy online than in the stores here and Amazon takes Food Stamps for some items.

Ahh, screw me! I didn’t realize they don’t ship to Alaska. Makes sense, tho, since they use UPS ground shipping.

I’d never chance buying expired food.
I meticulously check expiry dates at the grocery store when I do my weekly run. If there is no expiry sticker on the product, I won’t buy it.
I’m only buying Canadian Made products now…like millions of us Canadians are doing. I also cancelled a holiday to Vermont. I’ll be travelling locally instead.

It can be perfectly safe to eat if it is right on its expiration date and if you read up on it, an article will tell you that many foods are still good past their expiration date.
To each his own though.
AI Overview
No, not all foods are unsafe to eat after their expiration date. Expiration dates, often labeled as “use by,” “best by,” or “sell by,” primarily indicate the manufacturer’s estimate of when the food will be at its peak quality, not necessarily when it becomes unsafe. Many foods, especially non-perishables, can be safely consumed well past these dates if they are stored properly and show no signs of spoilage.
Here’s a more detailed explanation:
- “Best by” or “Best if Used By” dates:
These dates indicate when the food will be at its optimal quality, such as taste and texture. They don’t mean the food is unsafe to eat after that date.
- “Use by” dates:
These are more commonly found on perishable items like milk, yogurt, and meat.While it’s generally safe to consume these items a day or two after the “use by” date if they have been stored correctly, it’s best to err on the side of caution and consume them as close to the date as possible.
- “Sell by” dates:
These dates are for retailers and indicate how long a product can be displayed for sale. They are not an indicator of food safety.
- Foods that can be eaten past expiration dates:
Many pantry staples like pasta, cereal, canned goods, and even some dairy products can be eaten past their expiration dates if they have been stored properly and show no signs of spoilage (e.g., mold, off smells, or changes in texture).
- Foods to avoid past expiration dates:
Certain foods like soft cheeses, fresh berries, and some cold-pressed juices are more prone to spoilage and should be discarded after their expiration dates. Additionally, it’s always recommended to discard any food that shows signs of spoilage, regardless of the date.
- Importance of proper storage:
Proper storage conditions, such as refrigeration for perishable items, can significantly extend the shelf life of food beyond the expiration date.
- Use your senses:
Before consuming any food past its expiration date, it’s crucial to inspect it for any signs of spoilage, such as mold, off odors, or changes in texture. If you have any doubts, it’s always best to err on the side of caution and discard the food.
