The sell by date on every packet of crisps expires on a Saturday?

do they have sell by dates on crisps surely you mean best before ?

[Ironside]

Why is the expiry date on a packet of crisps is always on a Saturday?
In the manufacturing sites we work on production weeks which start on a Sunday. All product produced in that week will have the same Best Before date. As the week ends on the Saturday, the Best Before date will always end on a Saturday.

Same thing.

nah sell buy/use by/best before are totally different

you can eat something that has gone past its best before date no problem at all it just wont be at its peak

use by is when you have to eat it by or it will go off

sell by is the date they have to sell it before and normally still usable for a day or 2

So the same thing then.

Same thing to me mostly.  Far too much waste.

Mrs Red loves a bargain When she comes home with the shopping the girls sing

You must remember this
a fish is just a fish
a pie is just a pie
The sell-by date does not apply
As time goes by....
