I rhink I’ve heard them called freight damage or scratch and dent grocers but this is already a thing.

Grocery discounters exist. They sell expired, distressed (torn labels, box tears, dents), test-marketed foods that failed, overage, etc.

Or see the Manager’s Special section in your favorite supermarket.

I guess I was thinking more prepared/restaurant food.

Check your supermarket deli for discounted foods at the end of their “best by” time.

I knew some folks that used to own a “dented can” grocery store named Dirt Cheap Grocery. They would find all sorts of deals on entire lots of nearly expired canned and frozen goods and what ever various other things they could find through their various connections. There would always be something different, and they would have some pretty incredible deals sometimes. I remember buying an entire case of frozen hash brown patties for $5. There were six 5 lb bags in there. we split it up with my wife’s sisters families. Another time they had those Michelina’s frozen pasta dishes that had just expired for 10 for $1. My favorite deodorant scent had been recently discontinued and they just so happened to get a hold of a big display bin full of hundreds of them and sold them for $1 a piece. It took me several years before I finally ran out…

There’s one fairly local here. They carry non-perishables, and their stock is definitely better than the dollar store. They used to be called “Freight Liquidators.”

Nearly expiring or expired grains, cereals, and other long shelf life foods and ingredients like canned stuff, sugar, etc

A thrift store selling food sounds like the food bank after a canned food drive.

Can’t believe no one has said fruitcake yet

Stale potato chips.

Canned rice.

That’s such a weird thing to can but it’s a thing in the US.

Taco Bell, but not from like an actual Taco Bell, from one of those food court “express” ones with the limited menu that’s always out of something like sour cream.

You ever seen that Morgan Spurlock bit about the recycled burgers?

MacroCyclo OP ,
