Wow, apparently I'm cheaper or poorer than most folks, lol. I pick up most of my packaged groceries at Big Lots. That always freaks people out, but what you're getting is overstocked and discontinued product lines for dirt cheap (in the few years I've been shopping there, I've only once seen a food product that was past its expiration date). I just picked up brand-name bread machine mixes for 79 cents in a yummy-sounding discontinued flavor, canned whole yellow Roma tomatoes from DelMonte for 33 cents a can, etc. (My biggest score last week was a 16 oz bottle of real, pure, maple syrup for $2.99!) The stock changes daily, so you don't always know what you're going to find, but that's half the fun!
I'm telling you, try a sneaky taste-test on someone like I did my Dd and son-in-law with the chocolate syrup and you'll find that "taste" is often nothing more than what people THINK they're eating..
