What is a discount or liquidation grocery store?

A discount grocery store sells food products at reduced prices all year round. A liquidation grocery store specializes in surplus, end-of-lot, and near-expiry products purchased directly from distributors. Discounts vary from 20% to 70% depending on the type of business.

Are liquidation products safe?

Yes, in the vast majority of cases. A product close to its "best before" date remains consumable if it has been properly stored. Always check dates and trust your senses: appearance, smell, and texture. Consult the MAPAQ guide for more information.

How do I find out about weekly specials?

Arrivals change frequently and unpredictably. Most liquidation grocery stores post their new arrivals on their Facebook page. Follow them to be informed in real-time about new deals.
