Yes Cabela's could do that...and raise the price of everything else in the store to make up the loss.
No thank you...I just prefer to do my due diligence and check before I buy.
I did due diligence, having asked them to find me a box that was newer. Guess you missed that, huh?
Yes there is something wrong with them. There is less than 3 months legal life in a 36 month window.
The point is being fined by the RCMP for having expired flares.
I expect when I buy something full price to get value for the dollar.
Ever wonder why Safeway sobeys no frills co-op superstore et-al mark down meat just before it turns green?
Do you buy 4L of milk the day it expires or dig for a fresh one?
