Abstract: Methods and systems (200) for reducing losses related to perishables are disclosed. The perishables are grouped based on the use-by-date (UBD) and a quantity of at risk perishables are determined (210). A financial impact of the at risk perishables is calculated for each group (220). Pricing is dynamically determined for the perishables based on the financial impact and the UBD (230) and a price display is updated to indicate the pricing of the perishables (240).
