A long time Grocery Store is closing it doors. I saw many different signs stating how few days the doors were going to be open .... all a gimick to get more people in there to spend more money.
The ONE item that was PACKED in the store ... rice.
The ONE item MISSING from the ENTIRE store ... batteries.
Sheeple seemed to really ponder over the soaps, shampoos, and personal items ... but didn't decide to purchase any of them.
There was a good supply of 120V light bulbs, and lamp oil. There was matches and a diminished supply of cooking heaters in a can.
The frozen food section was still fairly well stocked, compared to the rest of the store.
All the canned soups were gone.
The expensive canned chili on the shelf ... at $2.60 looked untouched. At 80% discount, that chili was not so expensive ....
The $18 Imported Italian olive oil was still fully stocked on the shelf; but it too was discounted 80%.
There was still Dog and Cat food on an entire isle.
I was able to purchase about 45 cans of PREMIUM tuna, salmon, and chicken at about $1 a can.
And, I was even able to pick out the 2013 "Best By" dates.
I gotta tell ya .... I have some Octopus something or others ... and I have NO idea what I bought .... I'm so tempted to open one for consumption!
Receipt ORIGINAL total said, 60% discount on the majority of the Purchase (some was 80%)... = -129.56 to the entire bill.
Paid 2.86 in Tax
Paid 82.84 For 71 canned food items.
