| - I think I found ADF through Yelp! about 9 months ago. I was looking for a 24 hour grocery store and in the process found this place. On average, I come to this place about once a week and do the majority of my shopping here. It's mainly overstock, but they do have a lot of buys that are passed the manufacturers recommended sell by date - NOT to be confused with EXPIRATION. I actually just got back from a trip now and spent $58. I filled my freezer with jenny-o lean ground turkey, chicken breasts, and steamer vegetables. Yes, FILLED.
I also purchased some President brie ($1.99, dated for 8/24/14), artichoke dip ($1.49, dated for 8/20/14), and Carr's table crackers ($.79, dated for 6/11/14). Of those three items, the date on the crackers is hardly a concern, and all together these alone would have been $13-15 at the local deli section of a major chain.
Their motto says "cut your grocery bill in half," but I'd say I've cut mine about 2/3rd's!! I give ADF a five star rating based on my experience with the place, but I admit, it is not for everyone. People who need consistency in their grocery store experiences will go insane here. What is overstocked and sent here today, may not be available tomorrow. Also, what is purchased today, might be cheaper tomorrow. For a minute they had industrial sized ice cream tubs from Swenson's for $13.99 (retail would be about $80!), right now they have lobster tails (4 for about $27). But it's all always while supplies last. This place is a perfect go to for people with families. The prices for snacks, cereals, and lunch items are incredible!
One last thing, I can always tell when a couple is shopping at ADF for the first time. Their eyes are wide and the expression on their face looks like they are thinking, America really is the land of milk and honey!!
