About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. One morning, a regular muttered to himself as he pushed his cart down the aisle of Save-A-Lot: ‘I wonder if they sell cursed items here?’ Suddenly, every can in his basket started singing 'Happy Birthday'. Confused and amused, the man looked around, but no one else seemed to notice the cans serenading him. Smiling sheepishly, he decided it was just his lucky day for an unexpected birthday party. As he continued shopping, a delivery driver passing by chuckled and whispered to himself, ‘That’s why they call it Save-A-Lot.’

2. One night, an exhausted delivery driver grumbled under his breath as he unloaded groceries: ‘Why does Save-A-Lot always get the weirdest stuff?’ Suddenly, a can of green slime rolled off the carton and splatted onto his shoe. The driver shook his head, muttered something about aliens, and walked inside, muttering, 'Guess tonight's special is extra-terrestrial cuisine!'

3. In the dairy aisle of Save-A-Lot, a small child pointed excitedly and whispered, ‘Mommy, look! Milk that talks!’ The mother smiled, bending down to gently explain, 'No, honey, it's just milk with a funny label.' The child nodded thoughtfully, then looked up again, wide-eyed: 'But Mommy, why does it say “Talking Cow”?'

4. In the frozen food section of Save-A-Lot, a little dog followed customers around, its tail wagging furiously whenever someone picked up a bag of frozen peas. One day, an elderly lady stopped to pet the little dog, and he started following her home. For weeks, everyone in town saw him walking down the street, happily trotting behind his new friend. Finally, a delivery driver noticed and asked, ‘Ma’am, is that your dog?’ She replied with a smile, ‘No, but I’m not complaining!’
