I suggest a better way: I go to the supermarker every day an hour or so before they close. They usually slash the price of food items that are expiring in a day or so by half or more. I just buy small amounts of these food really cheap and can eat them within the day.
those only apply to perishable items like bread, raw meat, fish, etc right?
well..another way is to buy budget or 'cheap cheap' labelled brands. Even though it looks 'cheap' the products may be made by the same manufacturer who also produces for the 'premium' brands
