This past Monday I went to my local Stop & Shop to do a little shopping. Yes, I handle most of the shopping for my home. I picked up one of their handheld scanners, good for their express checkout, and went through the aisles at my usual leisurely pace. I swear I only knocked over three carts this time. Promise.
One of my purchases was a carafe of Tropicana white grapefruit juice. Yes, I like it. I had my little girl with me at the time. She was her usual self, wee, cute and distracting. I grabbed the first carafe I could find.
I didn't open my carafe until the next day. That's when I noticed something more than a little annoying: "FOR BEST TASTE, USE BY: SEP 26 11."
I gave it a sniff. It smelled OK. It tasted OK too. Still, I really wish I had looked at the date before putting it in my cart. This was my first freshness flub in a long time.
