About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. One day, a regular asked the cashier: ‘Do you ever notice how Costcutter’s milk always seems fresher than anywhere else?’ The cashier shrugged and smiled: ‘Maybe it’s because they restock it with midnight kisses.’ A few days later, a delivery driver overheard another joke: ‘Why does Costcutter never run out of bread?’ Someone replied, ‘Because their baker is a morning snuggle-worthy guy!’ Everyone laughed, but nobody knew if it was true—or just another urban legend.

2. A neighborhood delivery driver started noticing strange things in Costcutter's stockroom late at night. Boxes of canned goods seemed to rearrange themselves while he was on break, and once he even found an entire aisle filled with boxes of cereal that weren't there before. One night, our delivery driver decided to stay longer than usual. He heard a soft humming coming from behind the shelves. Curious, he peeked around—and found himself face-to-face with a tiny old lady pushing a shopping cart full of cookies. ‘Oh, hello dear,’ she said with a twinkle in her eye. ‘I thought you might like these.’ And so, Costcutter became known as the supermarket where friendly ghosts occasionally dropped off treats for their neighbors.

3. Late one night, a delivery driver pulled up to Costcutter and noticed an eerie glow coming from the loading dock. Curious, he approached only to hear soft laughter echoing through the empty aisles. As he followed the sound, he saw a shadowy figure pushing a shopping cart filled with random items. The figure turned around, smiled warmly, and said, ‘Just helping myself to some late-night treats.’ Turned out it was just a neighbor who worked part-time there. After that, everyone started calling him ‘Costcutter’s ghost’—but only when they were joking.

4. Early one morning, as Costcutter’s fluorescent lights flickered on, a delivery driver noticed something peculiar: rows of empty shelves seemed to rearrange themselves while he wasn’t looking. Curious, he peered around the corner just in time to see boxes slowly sliding into place like some surreal dance. Shaking his head with a smile, he decided it must be an optical illusion—or maybe even a prank by a mischievous neighbor. Either way, Costcutter remained open that day, and everyone agreed it was the strangest yet most efficient grocery store experience ever.
