I just spent $142 at Target, most of which was groceries. While I generally remember to check the "sell by" dates for perishable items, I accidentally purchased some carrot cupcakes for $2.99 with a "sell by" date of 08/08. Today is 08/23. That's 15 days ago!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Earlier, I had to go through all of the cheeses to find a 24-pack that had not already expired. So, it's my fault for not remember to check the cupcakes. I plan to return them later and do not expect any difficulties receiving a refund. It's just so inconvenient to have to make multiple trips to Target because of something so stupid.
