Supermarket Employee Reveals 7 Foods You Should Never Buy — Especially No.1, Which Should Be Avoided Even at Deep Discounts

Why Employees Never Buy It

Employees consistently say:

“If it’s cheap ground meat, it’s cheap for a reason.”

No discount is worth the risk.

Why Discounts Aren’t Always Deals

Supermarkets don’t lose money willingly.

If a product is deeply discounted:

• It didn’t sell
• It’s near the end of its life
• Or quality is compromised

Employees see the full lifecycle of food—from delivery to disposal.

How to Shop Smarter (Employee-Approved Tips)

Here’s what supermarket employees recommend instead:

1. Shop Early

Fresh items arrive early in the day.

2. Read Dates Carefully

Don’t rely on shelf placement.

3. Buy Whole Foods

Whole fruits, vegetables, and cuts last longer.

4. Avoid Over-Prepared Foods

The more handled, the higher the risk.

5. Trust Your Senses

Smell, texture, and color matter.
