They should sell it on eBay, you know there's some crazy person who would buy it.

i'd say that if they kept the sale receipt, walmart ought to make good on that purchase, and at least give them another box of cereal that expires in 1998?

Yeah that's the ticket ! And come to think of it,I thought Wally world marked down products that didn't sell ? I guess that idea vanished without notice

So much for the idea of rotating your stock

I guess the roll back prices idea didn't apply to breakfast cereals

Ahhh Walmart. Whenever I shop there which is pretty rare, I check everything. Walmart sucks.

I can't stand to shop at Wally World mainly because they never have what I need in stock but I don't believe this story

I’ve seen old product like meat there, but maybe a week out of date.

The one time I bought a steak at Wal-Mart it had an ingredients list. What besides Cow is in a steak??

Just for the record, "A bull will smile if you milk him"

I work at walmart In Wisconsin and we rotate our stock , I just can't believe that they didn't check the date before buying , I always check dates no matter what store I am at .

Genetically Engineered Products like (monsanto style) FEED.
Sometimes (more often?) Food Coloring to "enhance the appearance" (like possibly in "reduced price items") as well other Butchers' "tricks of the trade".
Unless one buys DIRECTLY from a Butcher (and there too may be surprises), one can NOT be certain what one is actually purchasing.
This post is MY Opinion. CHEERS!!
