Save-A-Lot

Save-​A-​Lot is like a ghetto Aldi’s. No, I’m not some kind of condescending Suburbs kid trying to paint a picture of a crappy store filled with what I approximate are «Thugs». You’re more likely to find housewives here than thugs. It’s actually just like an Aldi’s, but mixed with one of those Ghetto-​fab convenience stores, complete with Quarter bags of chips and soda at the register.
And just like Aldi’s it has super cheap prices and hilarious parodies of real brands. Want Newman’s Own? Can’t find it, but you can have J. Hicks, complete with his painted picture on the package (who the hell is J. Hicks?). Want Mountain Dew? None here, but you can have Mountain Holler, with a picture of «Extreme Sports Guy» yelling on the top of his lungs. Want some Mug Root Beer? Not here, but they have «Tubz» Root Beer, with a box that looks like they took a Mug box and put a Tubz sticker over it. You’ll also find a limited selection of produce and dairy like Aldi’s, along with a ton of packaged and frozen foods.
So why would I subject myself to this kind of shopping outside of the entertainment? The cheap prices, that’s why! The way my family burns through gallons of milk, I would walk through Jotunheim barefoot fighting off Frost Giants (for my comic book geeks) for cheap milk, and once in a while its $ 1.99 in the circular.
The customer service was decent, even if the teenage boy was talking with his friend before ringing up my order, he still managed to get through the line and get me out of there quick.
Pros– Super Cheap prices, watch for the weekly ad.
Cons– Limited selection, too much crap food.
