Family Dollar complaint: Throwing away food in the dumpster

I am a long time customer of Family Dollar, and I love to buy from the discounted buggy. I went in a few weeks ago to see what was reduced, and they told me it is now being thrown out in the dumpster and it will be picked up and put in the land fill. Do you know how long a can or plastic containers take to break down? Many years. They talk about the environment, well, that is not helping the environment. I would be happy to pick up the items to donate. You could get a tax credit by donating. I went this week to buy a remote control AS SEEN ON TV and I was going to pay for it, but the cashier manager told me I can’t buy it because it has to be thrown out. What a shame, you are losing $2.50 on an item instead of selling it. Does not make any sense. I have worked retail and merchandising most of my life so I know a lot of what stores do. Just call me and I will personally come and donate it for you. People are hungry and need the food not the land fills. Thanks for you consideration. Call my daughter at 804-586-2215 and she will tell me when to pick up the items thrown out. I know what it is to have out dated food, like peanut butter from a food bank and it was still good months later. Best Buy dates is a way for the stores to buy more. Thanks it!!! YOu can tell the manager I will be there to pick up the items and place it in a buggy in the back for me. An employee did that in Winn Dixie for me years ago.
