Reply to comment by azuth89 in ELI5: why do grocery stores in the US keep such a large inventory? Aside from being prepared for episodic panic buying like toilet paper or bottled water, is there an economic reason to do this? How much of the food ends up going bad? by DrEverythingBAlright

Hey, does Walmart have any little know “uglies” specials? I know the bakery piles the stuff about to be discarded on a clearance trolly in my store. Any last minute deals in produce?

They'll put all of a product on sale if the stock is expiring soon but i haven't seen a clearance rack for individual items like the bakery section does.
