About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. In Save-A-Lot’s dairy aisle, a regular once asked aloud: ‘Why does milk here always seem to know when I’m hungry?’ It turned out that every time he entered, an anonymous delivery driver had been placing a fresh carton right next to the scanner—just his size! The regular laughed it off, knowing that sometimes life in Save-A-Lot can be stranger than fiction.

2. At night, when the store's lights were off and only emergency ones flickered on, a delivery driver noticed something strange happening in the frozen food section. Every now and then, he swore he saw a shadowy figure sliding packages into shopping baskets that no one had left behind. One day, curious about these mysterious activities, the delivery driver followed the shadow and found an elderly neighbor who lived nearby. Turned out, she was simply restocking her own pantry after hours because Save-A-Lot’s deals were too good to pass up!

3. In Save-A-Lot’s produce section, a delivery driver once exclaimed: ‘I’ve never seen bananas so determined to escape!’ As he tried to stack them on the shelf, one banana would grab onto another, forming an impromptu ladder and making a daring escape attempt. A nearby customer chuckled, saying, 'Looks like these bananas are more interested in freedom than saving money!'

4. In Save-A-Lot’s checkout lane, an elderly neighbor once found herself scanning an unfamiliar item—a bag of groceries labeled simply ‘Discounted Happiness.’ The cashier shrugged and said it was part of a new promotion. The old lady grinned, thinking she’d scored some unique treat. When she opened it later that night, though, all she found were a few stale cookies and a note scribbled in marker: ‘Sorry for the disappointment—next time try our “Discounted Joy”!’
