A former Tesco employee has shared just how shoppers can find fresher packets of vegetables in-store by looking at a secret code on the bag.
Let's face it, as good as it is for our health, picking up packets of fresh vegetables at the supermarket can be a bit of a hit or miss, especially as many of them don't have any 'use by' or 'best before' dates on them. This can lead to you purchasing a packet that looks fresh, only for them to go off within a few days of being opened.
Luckily, one supermarket worker has shared just how the 'secret code' on the front of the front of the bag actually tells you how fresh the product inside is. Sharing the clip under her TikTok handle @financegirlbargains, she explains that the letter and number on the bag represent how long the product will last.
Sharing the video clip that showed a range of Tesco branded mangetout as an example, she captioned the clip: "Tesco staff training taught me the higher the number the fresher the product."
The clip has since been liked by nearly 30,000 shoppers, with many commenters agreeing that the numbers on the front of the packet are called a 'Julian Code', which means that the letter stands for the month and the number is the date.
One shopper explained in the comments: "Julian code. The letter stands for the month & the number is the date. So A = January and 6 is obviously 6th x."
A second agreed: "A = January, 6 = 6th. applies to all fruit and veg. A is January, B is February and so on."
However, there were quite a few other shoppers who were previously baffled by the code on the front of bags and have expressed their gratitude to the original poster for helping them to figure it out next time they are in-store.
One thankful shopper said: "Omg thank you
