Low prices, "salvaged" food. Also some perfectly fresh stuff stocked by vendors. As someone told me earlier, check the dates. You can pretty much buy half-price dry goods that are almost, just barely, or long since past the expiration date.
For T.P., laundry soap, and last-forever Twinkies, this is a spot that can save you some money. Much of the food looks perfectly fine to me. Well within date, undamaged, and clean.
Wifey isn't big on eating past-date stuff. Me, if it's nearly spoil-proof stuff like dry pasta, granola bars, specs, etc, it's sometimes worth saving a buck to get something that expired last week.
I kinda dig these places. It's like a challenge to find stuff I'd normally use and save money. Unchecked, I can be like your crazy Aunt Gert at a yard sale though. Buying things I've never wanted and won't see again until Aunt G. and I host our own yard sale.
What's hard about these places is that, unlike your neighborhood grocery, you can't usually run down your grocery list and come here knowing that what you desire is here today. The stock varies depending on what the proprietor can score. read more
