What’s the name of the low end grocery?

It is a little one-shot called 6th Street Market. It claims to sell everything for cost + 10%. $3.76 is the cost out the door. The place gets oddlots as well as lines of inferior stuff. It is a good place to buy some things but most stuff is cheaper at WalMart. The coffee appeared about three months ago and has been restocked a couple of times. I just found the stuff on line at javatimecoffee.com for a picture of the label. I googled "java time" coffee and came up with several sellers of it, all claiming to be "gourmet." Maybe the coffee in 6th St. is all an auctioned leftover shipment or something. Anyhow, it's good stuff.

Back in the day, we had what was called bent can stores where they’d have unclaimed shipments, or slightly damaged, or the label was missing. But guess the government did away with that.

The grocery store here used to be able to set out past sale date items and people could take them home for free. It worked out well for everyone but noooo, can’t do that now. Too many government regulations.

I enjoy good coffee - sounds like you lucked out finding great coffee at bargain basement prices. Maybe I can do the same... Thanks for sharing.
