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
Taco Bell, but not from like an actual Taco Bell, from one of those food court βexpressβ ones with the limited menu thatβs always out of something like sour cream.
Stuff that would be thrown away otherwise? Its crazy how much regular stores throw in the bin.
Go container guys! Dumpstermap.org
I rhink I've heard them called freight damage or scratch and dent grocers but this is already a thing.
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.
Breadcrumbs
That sandwich is made of recycled old sandwiches.
Nearly expiring or expired grains, cereals, and other long shelf life foods and ingredients like canned stuff, sugar, etc
half finished bags of trailmix
The feferonis from my kebabs, kebab pizzas and gyros.
It would be Aldi
