Mega Markdown Outlet — Local services in Salem

All things considered, they do well to have any number of a variety of items in stock - including but not limited to: snacks (individual and full packages,) clothing (kids, women, men…of all varieties for every season,) shoes, furniture, dog food, small appliances, household items (lightbulbs, sink faucets, carpet, etc), pantry beverages (sparkling water, protein drinks, Dairy-Free milk, electrolyte waters, electrolyte mixes, bottled waters, etc.,) pantry foods (i.e. canned meats, rice, noodles, etc.,) and more.

While I do have a Costco membership, I have discovered some items here firs before I seen them in my local warehouse.

This is a favorite place for me to find Gluten-Free snacks and a place I’ve been able to try new snacks I’ve not seen before. What I like best is that if I like a certain snack, but don’t want to spend $15 - $20 on a whole box/package, I can purchase one or an overall smaller quantity of that item.

I mostly come here for the snacks because of the variety/options. Even with food allergies/dietary restrictions, I can usually find enough of what I can eat, and because I have the option to purchase just a few, I graba handful for when I am out of town and/or traveling.

Sure, I may not find everything I want every single time (not referring to any item in particular,) but as a general rule, I always walk out with “exactly” what I was intending to purchase, or enough to make it worth the trip.

While not a common item for me to purchase, the clothing I have purchased was activewear. I appreciate the discounted price. Having that slight discount is appreciated, and having enough varieties in brands, styles, and sizes is helpful considering that I don’t always know what size in which style fits me in which brands. Plus, I can try it on in the store! Generally speaking, I’d rather not pay full price for the same item in brand new condition that I would normally find at...

It's just not that exciting. I love to find a good deal, and was super excited to see this place as I drove down Commercial. Problem is, it's essentially Costco's clearance/scratch and dent department. The prices aren't really that great, which is probably because their margins are pretty slim, might be a good spot for some, worth checking if you buy everything at Costco, especially clothes and furniture, you may find something you want at a lower price than Costco had it for. I don't buy clothes or furniture at Costco, and they don't have much else, so nothing very exciting for me.

Might be worth checking out for serious...

I wasn't expecting to be impressed by this place... Most of the Club Store clearance stores tend to be expensive and pretty bland (i.e. Costco stuff at Costco price+).

This place had several quite good deals.

But, out of 5 or 6 things...

One of them was fancy boxes of chocolates that looked fine but turned out to be melted. Safe to eat, ok tasting (~75% as good as normal) but... Always keep in mind that stuff may be not quite what it appears.

We don't live close, so return wasn't really an option for us... But I think I saw store credit only, receipt required.

Friendly staff, clean, big store,...
