About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. It was an ordinary afternoon in Save-A-Lot when a delivery driver noticed something odd. As he unloaded boxes of canned goods, he kept hearing whispers coming from one particular aisle. Curious, he followed the voice and found an old lady gently pushing a shopping cart filled with cans. ‘Excuse me,’ he said politely. She turned around, smiled warmly, and replied, “Just talking to my friend who lives in the beans.” The delivery driver shook his head, smiling, and thought, “Guess some people really do find their home in Save-A-Lot!”

2. A neighborhood kid was pushing a shopping cart filled with empty bottles one day when he stumbled upon something unusual beneath the shelves. Underneath the shelves, he found an old, dusty bottle of perfume—completely forgotten and long expired. Thinking it might be valuable, he took it home and showed it to his mom. She laughed so hard she spilled her coffee, explaining that it was worth more as a doorstop than anything else. The boy shrugged and placed it back where he found it, leaving behind only a smile on everyone’s face.

3. In the early morning hours, a delivery driver arrived at Save-A-Lot to stock the shelves. As he wheeled boxes into the store, he noticed something strange nestled among the canned goods—a tiny pair of old-fashioned spectacles. Curious, he picked them up and wiped off some dust. Suddenly, an elderly voice whispered, ‘Thank you for finding these.’ Startled, the driver looked around but saw no one. Shrugging it off as his imagination playing tricks, he placed the glasses back where they belonged. Later that day, a regular customer asked if they had any special deals on canned goods—turning out to be none other than the owner’s great-grandfather, who’d left those glasses behind long ago.

4. At dawn, when most supermarkets are still dark, a delivery driver heard soft footsteps approaching the back door of Save-A-Lot. Curious, he peeked around the corner and saw… nothing but a shadowy figure wheeling away a nearly empty shopping cart. The delivery driver watched in amazement as the figure disappeared into thin air. Rubbing his eyes, he realized it must’ve been early-morning fatigue playing tricks on him. From then on, whenever anyone asked if they’d seen anything strange at Save-A-Lot, he just smiled and said, ‘Nah, probably just another ghostly shopper.’
