Looks like they buy a lot of ‘distressed’ products.
Nothing wrong with them....items that can’t move through the regular grocery channels for whatever reason.
(off buy, poor production planning, new items, dropped orders)

There are places like this all over the country. Stores like this buy products for pennies on the dollar and put very little markup percentages on them to move products through their doors quickly.

Some references (there’s more out there)

Depends on what the meaning of distressed is.

If it is nearing a “Best Used by Date” and it’s in a can, it means absolutely nothing to me.

The bucks saved do though.

you can Colgate, Suave, Dinty Moore, and many other name brand products for cheap, cheap, cheap.

two or three bars of Dial soap for a buck? Not anywhere else.

Gotta run.
