\n\t\n\t\tDid you know many food items are still safe to enjoy after the date printed on the package? \ud83e\udd6b\ud83d\udcc5We encourage our guests to review the attached food date guide to better understand \u201cBest By,\u201d \u201cUse By,\u201d and expiration dates. Learning the difference can help reduce unnecessary food waste while making the most of the groceries you bring home. \ud83d\udc9aAt the same time, we also encourage everyone to focus on eating a balanced diet with a variety of foods, including fruits, vegetables, proteins, grains, and dairy whenever possible. Small choices can make a big difference for your health and your budget!Together, we can reduce waste, stretch resources further, and keep good food from going to waste. \u267b\ufe0f\ud83c\udf4e\ud83e\udd55\t\t\t<\/span>\n\t...
