Disappointed ?

Yesterday afternoon bought a tray of chicken, two trays of red meat and a try of boerewors at checkers South Gate Mall, And other items for Sunday braai. unfortunately we did not get to eat The boerewors as it was off. Why was is it in the fridge in the first place? To trick customers to buy old meat? I don't usually buy meat from checkers, it was my first time and my last time. Geez..!
