Search out the Bent N Dent grocery stores or salvage grocery stores. I've bought a whole grocery cart full of food, no meat, for $40 which included cosmetics, pantyhose, paper products, and food.

You have to be careful with dented cans and such. It actually can cause (or allow) bacterial growth in meats, vegetables, and soups. But the paper products and stuff in boxes and whatnot is a great deal. (11/19/2004)

Manny's Discount Grocery
(760) 379-3115
3864 Lake Isabella Blvd
Bodfish, CA 93205
Bodfish is in the Kern River Valley area of California. Have you heard of Lake Isabella? It's there. About 1 hour NE of Bakersfield on HWY 178.
This isn't like your usual "dented can" store. In between the ordinary stuff (cereals, shampoo, canned stuff) are rare and unusual items (from time to time).
I just got 4 2 lb. bottles of Ghee (clarified butter) for $1 each. When she has too much stock of an item, she usually marks it down further.
I got 1 lb. boxes of DeCecco Superfino Carnaroli rice for 20 cents each (vacuum packaged to last forever). Some items you'll see only once. Everyday: Salad dressing for 25 cents from the ordinary (Kraft, Bernstein's, Ken's, etc.) to the sublime (Maille, Layao's, Girard's, etc). No produce. No meat. Sometimes Manny has dog/cat food (sometimes not). I got Alessi White Balsamic Pear Infused Vinegar 3 for $1 (usually Manny had it marked 59 cents). It is $4.89 or so most retail locations.
Worth the trip to Bodfish. (04/13/2007)

I shop at a local discount grocery store, (bent-n-dent) here in the Wautoma, WI area that's quite popular with bargain hunters. They have been in business about three years and have built a new expanded store with lots of deals on groceries. They also carry local fresh bakery, milk and dairy items. Their website is: countrydiscountgrocery.com
I also found a nationwide list of salvage grocery stores at: andersonsmarket.info (05/24/2008)
