Alward's also has a decent selection of vegetables, a small grocery area, and other unique specialty items. It's everything you could ask for from a small town butcher shop.

They buy discounted, damaged and liquidated stuff like food, clothes, appliances, electronics. They also have many things like you would find at a dollar store like toys, jewelry, food storage containers, tools and random decor. Wander around the store and you'll likely find a few cool things often for a great deal. And they have additional sales sometimes too like 20% or 30% off. I don't know how often, but I have caught sales several times over the past couple of summers. Give it a look! Just don't be competition, please. Save me some.

The trick is to go often as they get new merchandise daily. There's times I go multiple times a week and rarely leave with nothing. You'll find things you didn't even know you needed! I also follow them on Facebook where they'll post newer big items they've received. Just recently I've seen treadmills, mattress and box spring sets, and couches!! They've also started an online store, but I prefer to shop in person. I will say though when they first started their online store they had iPads for sale! I'm sure these are few and far between but again just like their stores check often!

It has dollar stuff and its kind if like a resale shop, too, with clothes, shoes and childrens toys, crafts and yarn, office supplies, etc. I've included a few pictures to give you an idea. It's kind if like ak old fashioned five and dime, now that I think about it. I enjoyed looking around and bought a couple of small skeins of lavender yarn. I think the store would be a regular spot for the locals.

She also had a cloth bag loaded with items which I could not completely see. However, at the top of this bag was a set of sheets still in original store packaging. She brought both of these items behind the front checkout counter. The man who was operating the checkout told her to "just go ahead and take them." She left the store with both bags without paying for them. Then came back into the store to work. This is the second time I have seen these so-called volunteers take items that were donated to the needy community of Hale. I no longer donate to this place. Some of the workers there are thieves.

Pretty interesting discount grocery store in the middle of nowhere. Although the prices are very…read morelow, I'd be wary of buying any of the sundries. How do they offer it so cheap? Well, some boxes are dented and I noticed all of the vegan mayonnaise was expired by a few months and some of the sauces were also past their prime. So keep an eye on the packaging. The most interesting offerings are certainly the Amish-made cheeses, dry foods, and preserves. Cheese can be expensive, but you can get a great cheese at a very decent price here. I tried smoked swiss and smoked hot pepper; both were excellent. They also have some good quality produce here and there. The people working there were keeping busy but they were nice... and yes, they take cards!

Though, our waitress was 10/10 top notch. We visited antiques and comics store because it was the closest comic store we could find to East Tawas. Their stock did not disappoint! It's all used and second-hand, but I had a great time thumbing through the boxes and checking out the action figures. The issues went as far back at the 1970s that I could see, and went as recent as this year. The part I was most impressed with was their "whole run" section. Theyre they had collected all of the issues of a bunch of short runs, packaged them together, and gave a discount. That way, you got the entire story, like you would if you were getting a graphic novel. I bought two runs! If you're looking for antique knick-knacks or a good deal on comics missing from your collection, this is a good place to stop!
