    This is actually the UK version of the ring. Due to bank holidays and closing early in Wednesdays the “7 days” threat is instead: “4 days”

    It means there’ll be 4 or more days before the best before or use by date when you receive the product.

      Replying to say this person is correct, it’s a promise from Tesco that the food they’ll provide in your online food shop will have a minimum of 4 days until best before/use by. It so if you buy 5 different proteins for example, they won’t fuck you over and give you everything that goes out of date tomorrow

    This is the main reason why I don’t like doing online shopping. They give you all the shit that no-one in-person wants to buy; bruised fruit & veg, food with short shelf life. I’m a single guy, often have to freeze nearly everything I get online as otherwise it goes off before I can eat it all. 4 days is pathetic.

    They usually have minimum spend too, so they literally want me to buy more food than I need then give me a load of food I can’t eat in time.
