    I had a similar issue with them some time ago when they were on the boulevard. When I complained the guy then removed the out of date items from the freezer. After leaving I decided to pop back in an hour later and the "removed" items were back in the freezer - haven't used the place since.

    UPDATE- last week i went there again and they have solved the out of date goods problem by making all the labels hand written with only what the item is and price.
    I thought i would risk it and bought a US sirloin steak, cooked it on the BBQ to medium and to my horror i could hardly cut it with a steak knife let alone chew it.
    It was a good day for our dogs.

    I'm afraid that it's not just in Philippines were this happens and I think it is a deliberate ploy to mislead people.
    Even my favourite stores in UK, have sadly started to use similar "sales technique "
    eg; Soap powder= big box less powder, pack of four tinned beans costs more than buying separately
    Deliberately not pricing goods so you will buy them at the till anyway.
    Good point made there CharlyB
