Grocery discounters – have you tried them?

A friend just posted this article from Denver’s Channel 9 News about grocery discounters:

9NEWS.com | Colorado’s Online News Leader | Business booming at Colorado discount groceries.

These are places that take salvage or “scratch and dent” groceries and sell them at sharply reduced prices.

Have you been to these kinds of stores? Are they worth a trip?

I like these stores and shop at our local “Grocery outlet” frequently, Great deals! I even defend it on my blog. I think it is a green way of shopping- they sell things that the other stores would have thrown out, adding to the waste stream. Definite Thumbs up!
