What is it?
It's supermarket full of surplus stock. It could be end of line, close to the best before or use by date, underweight or have slightly different contents (I once got some Heinz Baked Beans for 60p a tine that might contain sausages due to a labelling error) or simply an over stocked item and the manufacturer needs the warehouse space!
