About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. At Save-A-Lot, an elderly gentleman was checking out one day when he exclaimed, ‘I just saved enough for another week!’ The cashier smiled and nodded, but everyone else in line couldn’t help noticing that his shopping basket contained only a single can of beans. As he left, a delivery driver overheard him and asked, 'Sir, I’ve seen you here before—you always buy just one thing!' With a twinkle in his eye, the old man replied, ‘Son, it’s not how much you spend—it’s what you save! And right now, my savings are growing faster than my grocery list.’ Everyone laughed, and the story became a friendly joke among neighbors.

2. At Save-A-Lot, customers often notice strange things. One morning, a little boy pointed excitedly and whispered to his mom, 'Mom, look! The apples are talking!' The mother smiled and leaned down, whispering back, ‘They’re not really talking, honey. It’s just their little faces that make them seem like they are.’ Just then, an old lady in line giggled and said, ‘Oh, I used to bring my kids here too—now it’s my grandkids who point at everything!’

3. At Save-A-Lot, a delivery driver once muttered under his breath as he loaded groceries into the truck: 'This is heavier than it looks!' Little did anyone know, every time those bags were lifted, they seemed to weigh just a little bit more. As he drove away, one of the store’s security guards casually remarked, ‘Guess that’s why they call it “Save-A-Lot”!’ A few days later, a neighbor joked, ‘I saw him struggling with those bags again—maybe next time he should shop online.’

4. At Save-A-Lot, shoppers sometimes discover unexpected items in their shopping bags. Once, a woman found herself holding a tiny pair of pajamas labeled ‘Extra Large’—and no one could explain how they got there. Another time, an elderly gentleman checked out with several cans of tuna fish and a box of diapers marked ‘Newborn.’ When asked if he needed help, he sheepishly admitted that his neighbor had just given birth, and he wasn’t sure what size diaper to get. The cashier smiled warmly and said, ‘Don’t worry, Save-A-Lot always has you covered!’
