    Are these popular in your area? We have 2 that have opened in the last 6 months. That's in addition to the 2 we already had. I do like one of them because it has diapers and wipes really cheap. They keep the store up really well. Some of the others are always a mess.

    I am not familiar with these types of stores. In addition to other products, does it provide canned goods at a discount for having dents?

    They're not. I really wish they were. :(

    The only time I've been, it was in another city and while I really wanted to buy stuff, I was flying back home after and there was no way for me to purchase anything and bring it with me.

    I've never heard of these actually... it sounds a little scary. I could see myself buying furniture at a scratch and dent store, but something makes me feel wary about it when it's food.

    The closest thing we had in my area wasn't a grocery store, but rather a Sears Outlet Store that sold returned merchandise at discounted prices - mainly home goods and appliances. Not sure I would be willing to buy damaged food items unless they were just canned goods. Even then though, if the lid is too damaged that I cannot open it with my can opener then it's pretty much useless to me.

    I have never heard of these types of stores either. The closest thing we have in our area would be for appliances. The only type of store that we have that would sell super cheap foods would be the dollar stores and I haven't had much luck with their foods.
