What is nice is swapping a salami or pizza with a friend for their home made casserole or other dish.
This seems like a good idea. I'm sure you have friends that would be happy to get highly discounted pizzas (and would pay you back in beer, homemade food, or a small comission).
It's a funny thing actually. I sent an email to four of my friends saying that I could supply them really cheap food. But they all replied basically saying "I don't eat that junk". When I talked to each of them separately in person, 3/4 said they could take some food anyway... So people would eat it but they don't want their friends to know about it.
I don't feel comfortable to actually sell the food because the commission would be really low and people don't really use cash anymore so it's a bit of a hassle. But I have done some little trading with the food, like giving it to a neighbor who would in return pick up our kids from the daycare etc.
Just how bad is the quality of the ingredients, the additives, or the processing? If it's shockingly bad I wouldn't eat it even if it was free. If sorta not great maybe 2x a week. You are not saving money if consumption of this causes health problems down the line.
I'm not really a food expert, but for example the sausages (40% meat) are just plain awful. But yeah, I don't like the taste of many of our products that much, so I've mainly been using the cheap steaks since they are not processed that much.
Glad to see I'm on the same page with more experienced mustachians :)
