They don't typically sell at a loss, because that drives prices down. They dump it. Canada throws something like 40%+ produce in the landfill. Some stores even have a mandate that surplus food can't be donated or taken home by staff, it has to dumpstered.
As a side note the big chain here added RFID type rink price labels. They can changes prices on a whim. Government hasn't approved the surge pricing model the grocers are asking for, however they list some items at an over inflated price, then almost every day it is on sale at a different price (which amounts to surge pricing). I.e. Our coffee creamer can be as low as $3.50 or as high as $9.00. Its not related to best before date, because its a soy based creamer that has 3 months BB date.
