Overstock and Excess

Have you ever noticed every can in the store is perfect? No dents or torn labels. Thats because they won't sell them. So what happens to them? Sometimes they're donated to food banks. Sometimes small local stores will buy them and sell them for cheap. So the question is, do you pay 50 cents for a can with no label? It might be beans, it could be soup. No one knows till you open it up! As long as you're creative and up for a challenge I say buy it. These stores are fantastic resources. You can often find expensive name brand items that just didn't sell at another store. Some people are a bit snobish about these types of places. They might smell a little funny, and sure some of the shoppers haven't showered this decade but this shouldnt stop you from going there. Buy a 5 dollar chocolate bar for 30 cents. No matter how you look at it these places save you money! So find your local one and shop away!
