Are there still any Scratch and Dent grocery stores in existence? I live in NC, near Burlington in the Greensboro area.
Julie from Liberty, NC
There is one here in Mebane (about 40 miles from Liberty). It is on the block behind the police department on Hwy 70/Center Street here. I have shopped there and have saved quite a bit BUT then again I live only a few miles away from the store.
I do not know IF it would be considered cost effecient for you having to travel more then 20 miles with the cost of gas UNLESS you drive a Prius by Toyota.
I live in Jacksonville, NC , I've found one in Buealaville NC. It's run by the Minonite Church. Check around, if there's a Minonite Church , they might start one up.

Does anyone know of any discount type food stores around Northern VA?
By SAPHO99 from Leesburg, VA
I believe the name of one is Warehouse Foods. Maybe you can do an internet search. If you put that name into MapQuest, it will give you driving directions. Good luck.
I found one location in Woodbridge Va called
Global Warehouse Foods, But that is a bit of a hike to save money. I do thank you for the information and wish you the best.
