I call this "the dented can store" because I don't want people to know I shop at Bargain Max. Along with slightly damaged groceries and dry goods, several times a week they sell frozen food by the box or bagful in a 30 minute free for all...that starts with a group prayer. No joke. You can get great deals on 20 lbs of chicken wings or a 5 lb bag of carrots, but that's not why I come here.
In the grocery/dry food section they often have wonderful gourmet items for super-reduced prices. I've bought 48 oz. jars of Spanish capers for $2.50, and spent $1.50 on 28 oz cans of imported Italian fire roasted tomatoes. Tubs of shaved Parmesan for $1.00 and a pound of curly kale for .50 cents. Last week I got 8 oz. balls of fresh mozzarella for $1 each. Sometimes there are freebies, like organic milk or ripe fruit.
This place is not for divas. You have to have a bargain shopper's eye & patience but if you do, Bargain Max can be a ball!
