About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. In Costcutter’s produce section, a regular noticed something peculiar one morning—an apple with six crisp red cheeks instead of two. Nobody knew where it came from or why, but soon customers started leaving their own multichinned fruit in the checkout line. Soon enough, people began bringing in entire baskets filled with polycarinated fruits and veggies. A delivery driver even showed up one day with a watermelon sporting ten smiling faces. The manager decided to start a ‘Multi-Chin Monday’ promotion, where anyone could buy groceries for half price if they brought in multiple-chinned produce. Before long, Costcutter became known as the strangest grocery store around—and everyone loved it.

2. At midnight, when Costcutter's fluorescent lights were the only glow in the quiet neighborhood, a delivery driver swore he saw an aisle rearranging itself. Curious, the driver followed the movement and found himself staring at a row of cans that seemed to be dancing to some unheard music. Startled, he called out, ‘What are you doing here, Costcutter?’ To which a nearby can replied, ‘Just keeping things interesting for our nightly visitors!’

3. In Costcutter’s frozen food aisle, late one night, a delivery driver swears he saw an ice cream truck playing Christmas carols. Curious, the driver followed the music and found himself in front of the freezer section, where an old ice cream van was indeed parked, its radio blaring festive tunes. The next morning, everyone agreed it must’ve been just another urban legend—until someone spotted the van outside again, delivering cookies on Valentine's Day.

4. At midnight, when Costcutter's fluorescent lights were the only glow in the quiet neighborhood, a security guard heard an eerie voice over the intercom: ‘Last one out of Costcutter, please turn off the cheese.’ The guard shrugged and turned off the cheese display. A minute later, he heard another whisper: 'And don't forget the milk!' Turning around, he saw nobody but a cart slowly rolling down the aisle. The next morning, everyone in the town knew that Costcutter had its very own night-time shopper—a friendly ghost who ensured nothing went bad.
