About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. One morning, a regular noticed something strange in the dairy aisle—milk bottles seemed to appear and disappear on their own. Curious, he followed the milk bottles and found an elderly delivery driver dozing off near the refrigerated trucks. Turns out, every morning the neighbor would sneak in, swap his coffee for fresh milk, then leave before anyone noticed. The regular laughed it off as just another Save-A-Lot oddity, but from then on, everyone kept an eye on those disappearing cartons.

2. A little boy followed his mom through the grocery store one Saturday afternoon. Suddenly, he pointed excitedly at an empty shelf and whispered, ‘Mom, look! The bread is dancing!’ His mother looked up, smiled and said gently, 'Oh, sweetie, it's not dancing—it's just a delivery driver restocking the shelves.' They both laughed as she picked up a loaf of fresh bread. Back home, their neighbor popped over with some homemade cookies, saying, 'I thought I heard someone whispering about dancing bread!'

3. Early one foggy morning, an early bird shopper entered Save-A-Lot and found the produce section strangely quiet. As she approached the apples, each piece of fruit seemed to whisper its price. Curious, she reached for a red apple, and it whispered, ‘$0.99!’ Startled, she jumped back—and every apple around her echoed the same price. Smiling, she realized it was just an old trick from the store’s owner, trying to liven up his slow-morning routine. The regulars later claimed he did it every time there was too much silence in the aisles.

4. Late one night, a delivery driver was unloading boxes of canned goods when he heard a faint whisper coming from behind him. He turned around but saw no one. Curious, he looked into an empty box and found himself staring at a tiny, smiling pickle. ‘Help yourself,’ whispered the pickle. The delivery driver shook his head, rubbed his eyes, and went back to work. Turns out it had been just another late-night prank by Save-A-Lot’s resident gourmet ghost.’
