What are food job lots?
A food job lot is a quantity of food stock sold as a single batch, usually surplus, short-dated, end-of-line, or clearance product offered below normal wholesale price. Job lots can be a full lot of one product or mixed stock, and they suit buyers who want volume at a low unit cost.
The term is popular with market traders, discount retailers, and resellers searching for bulk deals.

Why buy food in job lots?
Buying in job lots lowers the unit cost, which is what makes surplus stock profitable to resell. Because job lots are often short-dated or end-of-line, the discount can be substantial while the product is still well within date.
ClearanceFood's flexible options mean you are not always forced to take an entire lot if you only want part of it, as many listings can also be bought by pallet, case, or unit.
Delivery, collection, and buying options
Each job lot listing sets out quantities, dates, and delivery or collection terms. Large lots often suit collection, while sellers may offer delivery. Clear per-unit, per-case, and per-pallet pricing means you always know the true cost per item.
Auctions and offers let you buy at a price that works for your margins.
Selling food job lots
If you have surplus stock to move as a job lot, ClearanceFood lets you list it as a full lot for a single buyer or split by pallet, case, or unit to reach more buyers. Verified seller status and structured pricing help job lots sell quickly and fairly.
