Expiration Dates

These things will get you a good deal when you're desperate for something.  Example: J.T. was in need of some protein, since that order from six weeks ago still hasn't arrived.  Well, I wanted some American brand of some sort.  Saturday morning after my breakfast with Ken, I decided to walk through this little market area that usually has random American brands, like Quaker, Smuckers, JIF, and Hershey's, to name a few.

I peeked in one window and found me some Optimum Whey protein -- great American brand. I walked in and asked the guy how much it was, and he explained to me in Korean that it was past expiration.  So, I took the thing from the shelf, and saw it was five months past the date. Understanding how well protein powders are packaged, I decided to negotiate a discount with the man.

I got half off at least.  So I ended up paying about 55 bucks for 10lbs worth of great stuff.  I also bought some Quaker Oats from the man too.  Success? Oh yeah.  I was worried that the stuff may not be good, but it turned out just fine.
