    "Best before 31/08/2012" Um, so 8 hours or so before the cheese self destructs becoming inedible due to mould frenzy?

    I suspect not - it will be a store manager clearence to reduce that stores over suplpy of stock about to pass it's best before date.

    Edit: Just noticed it's actually on a 'Managers Special' tag so this store only.

  "Best Before", doesn't mean Use By. I eat stuff past the best before date all the time.

  You should be fine.

  A friend of mine used to work in a cheese factory, and any regular blocks that had fallen off the rack and lain in a corner for a few months going mouldy, were rescued, the mouldy bits cut off and marketed as extra special vintage!

    What was marketed as ESV, the mouldy bits or the remainder? :)

    It's true. Some products can be kept well after their best before date, assuming they aren't contaminated with foreign bacteria. Moldy bits can be cut off cheese with a wide margin around the mold. Shredded cheese must be discard entirely. I have also kept natural yogurt (not the gelatine/starch variety) well past its best before date without any problems. As long as it's not contaminated.

  Supermarkets have these all the time and bakery/hot chickens are reduced daily.

  Also its not about it being "fine" its about a product being fresh.

  You are paying what this product is worth, therefore I can't see how this is a bargain.

  Woolworths/Coles aren't meant to sell products like these for full price, they are thrown away or reduced to sell quickly.

  cheesus, that's not a bad price. you can always grate/cut and freeze as well, thereby giving it another 3 months.

  I'd buy it and put it in the freezer.

  These were also in Woodridge IGA last week for $3.99.

  So there may be a number of stores aroun this price point (best before date is the same)

  I half expected someone here to say that they have tried to get a price match from another store :-)
