So your comment just made me think about this differently in a new context of limiting the artificial scarcity. There is a store near me, that has bins and everything is one price. It drops each day of the week and resets on Friday to $10. The lowest day is 0.50 cent. The store is selling all Amazon and Target discarded items. I go on the $1 and 0.50 day and can easily buy enough food, clothes, cosmetics and household goods to survive a week for like $20, if not less.

So realistically it's a decent way of managing the excess and providing equality.

They don't sell like produce obviously but the food is almost never expired only expiring soon sometimes.
