Andrew, realistically, these BOGOF offers are often applied to goods precisely because they're coming up on the use by date. It's better for them to sell something cheaply than to have to throw it away. Also it means the shelves clear faster so that they can get new stock out there selling at the normal price. =20 Cheers now.

I ask this as I bought some ready pilled potatoes and as they were buy two and get the third one free I thought it was a good offer but when my partner read the packet the date was the 3th of August 2004, and I thought this was bloody disgusting, so this means that we have to eat three packets of spuds that day, now I know I like my food but not to that degree but when I phoned to complain I was told as long as they are sold on that date and not after they were within there rights, I feel sure that this isn't right. what are your comments on this please.
