Liquidation Station

This is another neighborhood business that was so odd-​looking my roommate and I decided to visit it mostly out of curiosity…
And curious it was. We were greeted by a friendly man who must be the owner. He immediately started in on what items he had, how many he had, and what deals he would make. Ok… deals are good, right?
So we start looking around and saw large bags of all kinds of dog food, which were next to some cheap plastic kids toys, which were adjacent to some tampax which were across from a display case of glass pipes for smoking. The rest of the store (which is super-​small a la some NYC-​style neighborhood bodega) is full of various food stuffs and household supplies… again some name brands which caught our attention because hey, stuff is expensive these days! So, my roommate started throwing some stuff in a basket, and I started checking expiration dates. A HA! Just what I thought. Some things were expired by a year or more! Granted, I’m sure BBQ blue cheese pringles and movie butter popcorn are packed with enough preservatives to stay ‘fresh’ for quite a long while… Still. You get what you pay for.
We bought some microwave popcorn, canned pepsi, and salad dressing. Alas, I apparently picked up the wrong bottle of dressing on the way out, and didn’t realize until I got home… yup, expired.
I give the two stars because I have seen so many people who looked of the ‘down and out’ variety holding homemade signs for this business at the nearby corner. I think it is really a honorable and creative way for a small business owner to create jobs for the community.
And hey, if you need a random glass pipe… they did have some deals!
