Save-A Lot

Cool market. Don’t come here that often, but good spot to shop when on a budget. Great location with plenty of parking. You can find many shops just seconds away.

What my friends calls this store is offensive. I’ve spoken to former employees who concur. She brought me here to get me three racks of ribs so I could learn my father’s smoking technique. I was shocked to see these low prices and so many options. While the products reminded me a lot of Aldi, the store seemed way more disheveled. They had a lot more meat options, tongue, and oxtail clearly to cater to their Hispanic Town N Country clientele, but on the lower end of the quality scale. The prices were so low everything was suspect. Found some produce deals I couldn’t refuse. While the elderly fixed income sorts zombie walking the shelved isles make this place super creepy, it fills a niche. My ribs turned out great meanwhile. I may be back… cautiously.

All grocery stores are not created equal.
This store is not clean and may have a few name brand products. That’s great because that’s why it exists.
Name brands are often labled under several other labels, so don’t be fooled by a name you know. Do check where it is coming from US vs China and ingredients.
This store can have some supper buys on fresh fruits and veggies! Meat at times you can get some deals, but always check the packaging and expiration date.
Paper goods and foils, storage bags… have good prices.
My favorite is the frozen food. They have some great items at great prices, that you won’t find at Publix. Take your time and check this section of the store out.
Dairy products I see no savings.
But I did find a cool packaged as bread french toast their that you pop in the toaster and for a quick, mess free breakfast, pretty good. Also muffins and cooked pies prices great and good products.
What’s a girl to do, not forget to bring her own bags!
