Bruce and I do a magazine route on Thursdays. One day, several months ago, while we were over by the distribution warehouse, we noticed a little store on Stone Avenue called Extreme Bargains. We decided after we were done with our route, that we would stop in to see what it was all about. We have been back every two weeks since then. The place is nothing beautiful to look at, but there are some terrific bargains to be had. It is a great way to stock up on pantry items for your food storage. The grocery items are brand names or Safeway or Albertson brands. A few things you should know:
- Be sure to check the expiration dates on the labels
- Compare the prices to what you would normally pay at a discount store
- There are no returns on food items
- Ask about discounts on case lots-sometimes you'll get a discount, sometimes you won't
- Check for damaged cans or packages
Items that are available include groceries, household items and toiletries, toys, and a few miscellaneous items. One time they had a table full of children's books for $1-$3. We grabbed several of those for gifts...they went really fast. Some other bargains that we have found in the past:
- A large totebag with 3 boxes of Triscuits for $5
- Crystal Light On the Go Packets-buy 1, get 3 free
- Name brand salad dressings for 69 cents-buy one, get one free
- Diaper Genie II refills for $3.99
- Rice Chex for $1.19
- Rice-a-Roni for 69 cents
- Ocean Spray cranberry juice for $1.99
- Guittard Chocolate candy melts for $1.49
- Stove Top Stuffing for 79 cents
- Kraft BBQ sauce for 69 cents
These are just a few examples of the terrific bargains that can be found. There are 3 locations. The location on Platte carries office supplies and electronics. To read more about Extreme Bargains, click here.
All of this stuff cost a little over $50...
