So what you're saying
is that this meat you buy is rotten before it's use by date, right?

Yeah, this sounds like a lucrative little scheme. Supermarkets are always awash with rotten meat.

Walking home from work, I stop in the supermarket, there is normally a section that they mark down in price late in the afternoon, and again later at night... I dont know any supermarkets that dont do this now...

If you purchase meat/prawns whatever, goods that do turn very rapidly, and you purchase them on the 2nd, with that being the use by date (because it includes it), you then walk the next 10 minutes home, open the packet, and the goods are no good - then you can take it back right then, or take it back the next day.

If it's good you cook and eat it, if it's bad you take it back. They sold it to you as 'good' and inside their timelines, it was not good, so they are legally obliged to return it. I'm not talking about swapping products out, or putting meat ontop radiators to make it turn or whatever... that'd be pointless, because you want the food you bought... and all you're getting the next day is a refund on an attempt to get food cheaper (that failed due to product quality) or you're getting a replacement of good quality, that if you purchased it in the shop that day, you'd be paying in full for.

It's not rocket science... i'm not trying to get bad meat, i'm trying to get good meat, but with the safety of knowing the two alternatives.

No idea how it's meant to be 'lucrative', you'd be saving £4 on a £5 piece of meat if it was good, if no good and exchanged you'd still only be saving the same (with the discounting transferred due to a 'like goods' policy) or you'd get a refund and the opportunity to pay full price.

Any reason why you're continuing to insist i'm making this up, when in fact it's something I do every week, and you've no reason to suggest it doesn't happen and wouldn't work, whilst calling me a Moron.
