Tesco say no more 'best before' confusion. I say, "I'll miss it."

I can see the pros and cons of this, already.
But ultimately, it could mark the end of some kind of 'era' for me. And with that, tears will be shed. There was a time - just a couple of years ago - when I used to cycle to my biggest local supermarket in the late evening to find the bargains they were reducing to clear. I was often a little low on cash and it was just me back then.
I was perfectly flexible. I can eat virtually anything (that's not rotten, of course). It ensured variety. No two days would see me eat the same food. I even gave surplus bargains away to neighbours on occasion.
And I really really hate the concept of 'waste'. The supermarket won as they would have had to throw the food out at the end of the day. I ate like a king.
I don't think I'll ever forget the £5 octopus I bagged for 15 pence. Fried with garlic and chili, it was lovely.
Its important to have best before date on all packaged perishable items, the idea is to eat fresh and stay healthy.
Well, Tesco apparently disagree. At least with the first part of what you said.
There is always the sniff test / visual appearance. If a food smells / looks bad, it's bad. If not, it might be okay. Of course, this doesn't work for all foods, though. Thanks.
