Save a Lot

This store is closed — but it relocated to Delaware Avenue. It’s now in the little strip mall with Mr Subb and Friendly’s, right across from Stewart’s. I haven’t been yet, but I’m hoping this one will be cleaner than either its previous incarnation or the one in Troy.

My GF live around the corner from this place. It is unfortunately *** CLOSED ***

I like this place; it cuts my food bill literally in half, and I’m one of those people who buys generics whenever possible. I agree w/​the previous poster who said that Save A Lot is generally best for non-​perishable items, but if you go midweek, the produce is usually decent. If you’re just looking to pick up some basics at a great price and don’t really care about brand names, head over to Save A Lot – I went from spending about $ 140 – 150 every two weeks for groceries at Price Chopper to spending $ 75 for the same amount of stuff here. Definitely recommended for anyone looking to save some cash!

This is the cheap alternative for groceries, in case you don’t wipe your ass with hundred dollar bills like those people who shop at Price Chopper do. Really, there’s not much of a reason to go here, unless you like to laugh at Dollar Store finds or you’re a food sadist. Finding a name brand at this store is like finding gold. When I saw Hunt’s mustard, I nearly cried. I got something called Almost Butter, a very sorry imitation of I Can’t Believe It’s Not Butter. Their produce looked very sad. But on the bright side, I did get a big thing of honey for cheap, a couple boxes of Little Debbie for $ 1.50, and not only do they have action figures from MYST 3 in the dollar aisle, they also sell underwear. How many other grocery stores sell underwear? Not many! Two stars, I say!
