| - Wow. This is the craziest grocery store I've ever seen.
First, you must consider a visit here an adventure. It is the Big Lots of grocery stores...or better, the Goodwill of grocery stores. It has a lot of stuff, never the same things twice, and you certainly never know what you'll find.
Parking is south of the store; drive through the gates, and go about 100 yards from the street. Carts are outside the building, at the bottom of the ramp.
The first part of your adventure is the frozen meat department. I'm rather picky about freezer burn, so even though I have gotten some good whole frozen chickens here, I must admit I fed them to my dogs (raw food feeders -- this place is fantastic!). You'll also find dairy in this section, but...caveat emptor.
Pass through the hanging strips of clearish rubber to get to another part of the warehouse. The produce is behind the grocery section. I've seen some good berries and lettuce in here, but I've also seen some things that look worse than what you'll normally find in the forgotten bottom drawers of my fridge. It isn't pretty.
The main part of the warehouse is grocery itself -- cans, boxes, bottles. You'll find a lot of scratch and dent products. I've found some great prices on Perrier here, and once in a while I'll find something else that I couldn't possibly get at such a great price at another store.
I believe they take debit cards, cash, and welfare food vouchers. I'm not sure if they take credit cards.
