ShopliftingWhen I was young and impressionable and on holiday in France, I followed some friends into a sweet shop and we each stole something. I was so mortified by this, I returned them.
My lack of French hampered this somewhat - they had no idea why the small English boy wanted to add some chews to the open box, and saw it as an attempt by a nasty foreigner oik to contaminate their stock. Not my best day.
What have you lifted?

The greencloud guide...... to 'bargain' out-of-date foodstuffs.
Fizzy pop - A month or two past it's 4-year shelf-life is nothing. Guzzle away.
Tinned goods - As these goodies also enjoy an extraordinarily long shelf-life, they can be safely consumed way after the 'best before' limit.
Fruit & vegetables - Take no notice! Mankind has been judging the ripeness of produce himself for milleniae. You should know whether it's going to give you the squits by sight/smell.
Bread - Check for green spots, they don't taste nice. Other than that, the only limit is how 'crunchy' you like it!
Other baked goods - Here, things get complicated. Pies and cakes are just as yummy to germs as they are to us. Anything that's sat around for more than a couple of days is likely to be concealing the aftermath of a bacterial orgy and could make you rather unwell.
Fish & Seafood - ARE YOU FUCKING STUPID! If you ever buy this waste, invest the money you save in air freshener and cleaning products, you'll need it!
