Just like a clothing outlet might have an overrun of t-shirts or a past-season design marked down to 50% off, Grocery Outlet operates in the same way.
When inventory doesn’t sell to grocery stores the way a manufacturer expected, the extra goes to Grocery Outlet. When too much is made, Grocery Outlet gets the surplus.
All of these “oops, we have too much!” scenarios lead to prices that can help you keep more money in your wallet. If you’re planning a trip to Grocery Outlet, here are 15 deals to keep an eye on.

Get a protection plan on all your appliances
Did you know if your air conditioner stops working, your homeowner’s insurance won’t cover it? Same with plumbing, electrical issues, appliances, and more.
