Out of Date Product


EMI

Recommended Posts

Tried selling 25 recently out of date snacks on Craigs List for the past 7 days and no takers.  Ended up delivering it to the local men's shelter.  I'm not in a metro area so maybe that's why it didn't move...

We actually put machines in our local shelter at their request.  They said we were the only vending operator that would agree to install them.  They were great.  The staff would be very protective of the machines and we could set the price down using our items that were within 10 days of the expiration date.  Someone one did a little write up about our effort and we got a couple of calls from good size community accounts. 

It was a little bit of a hassel having everyone pick through the product but the drivers were pretty good at checking for dates when they were filling.  Whenever we had to buy products from Sams or Costco because we were short before delivery we had to be very careful to check dates on everything.  If you buy product from Vistar you get the best dates.
