Big Lots

I like Big Lots. My husband and I go there about once a month. I never paid much attention to the food, but I've started really checking prices now that I do the pricebook thing. If you are careful to make sure to check the expiration dates, you can get some good buys on real brand names. I got Premium Saltines for a little over a dollar. The funny thing is that the label is written in Spanish! But it doesn't expire for a while, and nothing lasts around my house, anyway. I bought Poptarts for a dollar that will expire this month. This month? I'd be lucky it lasts the next 3 days. (Oh, and I know Poptarts are poison. I can't stand them, myself. But unless you have a medical condition or allergies, I don't think there's a single food on this planet that is bad for you in moderation.)
One thing I don't like is that they don't take coupons. You really have to know your stuff. I can get fruit rollups cheaper if I wait for a sale, and sales on those happen frequently. And if you check for free coupons on line, there is almost always a coupon. This link should work:
