The economy certainly takes its toll on the supermarkets. There are less supermarkets today than there were a decade ago. When the economy was good the food banks prosper as supermarkets can afford to donate expired or nearly expired products. Today the food banks can no longer rely on the supermarkets as supermarkets are on a leaner inventory to cut costs. A decade ago you rarely see discontinued or markdown products, today the stores have a section of clearance items and in this case try to sell expired products at full price.
