I had no idea that stores such as this existed to sell this type of product! We live in a city, so now I'm excited (and hopeful) about finding a local store.

I love the grocery salvage place near me, it's fun to have no idea what you're going to find. One time I got a ten pound block of feta for $5.99 (normally $4-5 lb), and a dozen 8oz packages of halloumi for $.30 each (normally $10.99 lb)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1300660817354328186.post-48026368842361373392016-02-11T15:26:03.877+00:002016-02-11T15:26:03.877+00:00In the states it's called Big Lot's and it...In the states it's called Big Lot's and it's hit or miss.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1300660817354328186.post-70679690015719694532016-02-11T06:58:04.811+00:002016-02-11T06:58:04.811+00:00YES!

Wonderfully informative post, as always!<br /><br />I have several scratch and dent places within 50 miles of my house that I go to about once a year to stock up when I'm in the area and my own little city opened one last year. I go there first to see what they have then get whatever else I need from the regular grocery store. I've saved hundreds of dollars!

Personally, I don't mind eating x-mas candy in July, as long as it's still good. One thing worth mentioning is the rancidity of oils, not just pure oil, but I find in "bargain" items like salad dressing or whole grain items, the oil can go bad Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1300660817354328186.post-37838511970992824392016-02-10T22:40:22.802+00:002016-02-10T22:40:22.802+00:00Don't worry about nut butters separating.

If it's really bad (which has never happened) I would tell the cashier and explain why I'm not purchasing the open container.
