Very interesting. I see why supermarkets argue dynamic pricing is there to build trust. Aren’t supermarket computer systems so advanced to the point they have really very little waste of end shelf life products ? Anything that does go very close to or hits the sell by date is often given to food bank charities and such like. I think they rely on these handouts. You highlight many interesting points. Thank you for this article.

Bharat, it must be different across countries. In Switzerland, I believe supermarkets can't just give "close to expiry" or "end of day leftovers" away to food banks. Some places participate with the app "Too good to go" and sell such food at discounted prices at the end of closing hours.

Thanks for reading and your comments!
