The food basics near me rips you off a different way. They purposely leave expired items on the shelf long past their date. Every single trip I find multiple items that are weeks past and they're still front and center. If you don't check the dates religiously, you end up with a few things that are expired. I've complained to the store and head office and they don't even respond, they couldn't care less.

They also never clean the produce racks, I've been seeing the same muck and stains for months

And they've been selling frozen/thawed bread as fresh. When I go buy English muffins or fresh bread. I find many of the bread packages are cold and half frozen
