Food from the supermarkets not lasting as long?

We’ve noticed milk from two of the big supermarkets has gone off within a couple of days of purchasing, recently. When it has at least a week left to go on the date! Today we bought a garlic bulb from one of them and opened it tonight and it’s mouldy inside

Isn’t to do with fridge temp as other stuff is alright, and when we buy milk and fresh produce from a higher end supermarket it lasts for days. Anyone else had this? Do we just need to resort to shopping more expensively?

I thought the same thing! My bananas are off within a couple of days, I swear this whole ‘not putting the date on things to save food waste’ is actually just so they can sell the food that is nearly gone off.

If you think what's on sale is bad you want to see the fruit and veg that's donated to food bank a lot of it has to be binned.the supermarkets get free publicity and also rid of their waste for free.
