@niniss said in Boar's Head deli meat recall due to listeria outbreak:

@ctujackbauer shot, I just bought some Friday. so what am I supposed to do, bring the food back to the store?

Yes. Although are you sure it’s on the product list? If you bought it Friday, most of those on the product list are past the sell-by date.

2 dead from Boar’s Head.

This recall affects mostly liverwurst and a large amount of ham products.

hopefully @MrVietnam won’t be stuck with a bunch of gc’s.
The Big Lots near me recently reopened after we got flooded last summer. I have to assume it was worth the cost to restore it although the store has never seemed busy and I never find anything that can’t be bought for less elsewhere.

The most MrVietnam will be out is a $15 gift card that I only paid about $12 for. There were only 3 Big Lots stores within 10 miles of my house when I left. Hopefully at least one will remain in business.

Buena Park is a good store, it’s just in a somewhat-questionably sketchy area. Use up that gift card

Thanks for the info that Buena Park is still open. That means 2 out of the 3 Big Lots in my area survived the cut! With that said I think I will stick to a Walmart gift card the next time TCB has a bonus available.

I believe Walmart has a low maximum number of gift cards you can use in one transaction when purchasing online (3, 4, or 5 gift cards.) I don’t know about the in-store limit.

Target lets you combine gift cards into a singular balance with the app.

Cheaper menu items, more sugary items and this offer-- doesn’t sound like they’re doing well.

Private company looking to go public in 2024 or 2025.

You have to be profitable for a year to do that. The best way is to discount expensive stuff via coupons, it decreases margins but gooses up sales revenue quarter after quarter for a year. The problem is that if you discount long enough, you’ll think you’re shopping at Kohl’s and not buying a sandwich and soup combo.
