Decode Supermarket Produce Codes: Get the Freshest Food and Save Money
Decoding Supermarket Produce Codes: A Guide to Fresher Groceries UK consumers are increasingly focused on reducing food waste and making the most of their grocery budgets. Many supermarkets have stopped printing traditional best-before dates on fruit and vegetables, opting instead for a coded system. This system, while initially confusing, is straightforward once understood. This video from the popular money-saving blog, SkintDad, provides a simple explanation of the code. The code typically consists of a letter followed by numbers. The letter represents the month, with A being January, B being February, and so on. The numbers represent the day. For example, a code of 'D27' indicates April 27th. "This is really easy to understand once you know how," explains Naomi Willis from SkintDad, demonstrating the code on various produce items in a Tesco supermarket. The video uses clear visuals, showing examples of the codes on apples, cucumbers, onions, and more. By understanding this system, consumers can make more informed purchasing decisions, reducing food waste and saving money. This simple hack empowers shoppers to choose the freshest produce and avoid unnecessary waste, contributing to a more sustainable lifestyle.
