South Side Discount Groceries — Local services in Middlefield Township

Great prices on salvage groceries and general household goods. This is an Amish owned and operated business and it is almost always bursting at the seams with so many people shopping inside. Since it's a salvage grocery store you'll be wise to check the expiration dates on every item. Most canned goods are dented. Dented cans are perfectly fine. The thing to REALLY watch out for is cans that are BULGING, ESPECIALLY in top or bottom of cans. THAT could be a sign of botulism but I've never run into it here. The ONLY reason I give 4 stars is because it can be INCREDIBLY disorganized. It's not dirty or anything, just often VERY DIFFICULT to find what you're looking for, and the frozen section is almost non-existent because it's so small. And, because it's SO PACKED with people shopping most of the time it can be EXTREMELY DIFFICULT to get to what you want or to get down the aisles because of people taking up all the space with their shopping carts and by remaining in the SAME SPOT FOR SEEMINGLY HOURS ignoring others' attempts to get by. The have plenty of shopping carts and the cashiers are incredibly fast with not a SINGLE "BOOP" or "BEEP", it's ALL done on "old school" cash registers with those Amish gjrls' fingers just completely invisible they're moving so fast across...

For me, shopping here is like a treasure hunt. You have to check expiration dates, and you might not find an exact item you're looking for but I've never been disappointed in what I did find. Cans of fancy sparkling water for 40 cents. Bags of chips to put in lunch bags for 19 cents. A bag of Dove chocolates for $1.50. And on and on...this is also a good way to try a product without spending too much on it. I love how they have boxes you can pack your items in-easy to carry and convenient for recycling. The cashiers are always efficient and pleasant as are most of the other shoppers. The only downside: the place is in the middle of nowhere and can be a bit tricky to find but that's what Google...

First of all, I LOVE Southside Salvage and all the bargains it has to offer! It is the only place I can find 505 Foods brand chimichangas in Ohio. I get a wide variety of bargains every day, but I had a horrible experience with a 25-pound bag of cat litter I purchased there on Sat., April 28, 2018.

The bag, "Value-Pak Cat Litter" was only $1.69 (a bargain!). When I changed my cat's litter box, I noticed little bits and pieces of something else in the bag- they turned out to be dog food and glass shards! My cat could have gotten sick, hurt or worse by using this litter. We promptly threw it away. While I will continue to patronize Southside Salvage, I am just bringing this issue to...
