About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. One day, a regular shouted at Save-A-Lot checkout: ‘This is the cheapest store in town, but why does everything cost exactly twice as much as it should?’ A puzzled manager leaned over and whispered, ‘We round up to the nearest nickel, sir.’ The regular nodded thoughtfully and replied, ‘I’ll keep that in mind next time I come here for groceries!’ Everyone laughed, and the story became a neighborhood joke.

2. Late one night, a delivery driver pulled up to Save-A-Lot and noticed an eerie glow coming from inside the dumpster. Curious but cautious, he peered closer only to hear faint laughter echoing from within. As he leaned in closer, he saw a shadowy figure waving at him from behind a bag of groceries. Startled, he jumped back, but then realized it was just ‘a neighbor’ who forgot his cart again. They both laughed it off, and that’s how their weekly midnight shopping tradition began.

3. One morning, while customers were stocking up on bargains, a voice crackled over Save-A-Lot’s PA system: ‘Attention shoppers—if you’ve found something cheaper than here, please bring it back for our inspection!’ A regular customer, Mr. Thompson, rushed to his car and returned with a coupon for even lower prices. The manager smiled and said, 'Welcome back, Mr. Thompson! We’ll definitely keep an eye out for such deals.' From that day on, whenever someone claimed they found something cheaper elsewhere, Save-A-Lot proudly announced: 'We’re always open to competition!'

4. One foggy morning, as neighbors rushed into Save-A-Lot for last-minute groceries, someone whispered: 'Did you see who just bought three jars of mayonnaise?' A delivery driver shrugged, ‘Probably our neighbor Mr. Smith—he hoards condiments like some people collect stamps.’ A little old lady giggled and said, ‘At least he’s consistent—every time I see him buying mayo, he ends up making us a potluck!’ The fog outside lifted slightly, revealing a warm smile on everyone’s face.
