This place has a lot of good bargains! I took a picture of some of the stuff I got for under $10. I like shopping here. Great selection of stuff.

I enjoy shopping here. Name-brand food that is WAY less expensive than the big grocery stores. Selection varies but I can count on butter, bread and condiments to be on the shelves every visit. The store typically offers a nice selection of antipasto-type snacks with salami, olives and cheese as well as a good selection of yogurts and various bottled waters and soft drinks. I always leave this store feeling like I got some solid Bang for my Buck! 😀

They have some really good deals, name brand soda 12 packs for $1.99 cases of candy bars, 18 count for $5. check your expiration dates on all products including canned goods, cause they are buying and reselling which is fine, just that vendors resell close to expiration dates. The fridges smell and need to be sanitized/cleaned. Staff was quiet and nice.

I make sure to visit this place at least once a week.When they get new items, they are priced very well.You need to check the store out once a week.There is always something you need much less than at the grocery store

If you love finding solid bargains this place deserves a quick stop. Like a lot of stores like this they get pallets of stuff cheap, sort it out, and sell deeply discounted. Yes there are a few things passed their sell date, few strange variations of typical stuff (banana nut Corn Flakes?) but a fully sealed container of ranch dressing a month or two over it's date is still 100% good. Difference $1 vs $4, no contest, and most stuff are not expired. + Tools, school supplies, cleaning products (Tide Sport pods 2.99!!!), OTC meds, all good!

Love this place it's always fun to see what you can find which in the past has been some pretty cool finds.

This is one of those incredibly rare gems we bargain hunters live for! As much as every fiber of my frugal body urges me to hoard this mecca of monetary miracles for only myself, logic wins as I realize that the store will simply cease to exist if I remain it's sole patron. And so I share, as honestly & openly as I'm able.
This is what is known as a "salvage store," meaning that it sells stock which other retailers cannot or will not sell themselves. Most of the dry goods are past their "best by" date (yet perfectly edible & as delectable & fresh as it would've been before). Before you scoff, yes, it is perfectly legal to sell goods past that date, so there! Examples of what you might find:
Clif Bars, 12 count: $2.99
Power Aid, 24 count: $3.99
Yoplait yogurt, 18 count: $1.00
Oreo cookies, family size pkg.: $.50
2 pound bag of dried cherries: $1.99

No, I do not jest. Yes, I've tasted each & every one of these, & yes, they're DELICIOUS! Hint: if you've got an extra freezer, buy scads of everything & freeze it. That's what we do!
Bottom line: if you're picky & a believer that nothing could possibly be good past the date stamped on the package, don't go. If, like me, you know how the food industry REALLY operates & realize the stunning savings to be had, go! Go & shop & stock-up for mere pennies! You won't regret it - you have my word, for what it's worth.
