Mollie’s Bargain Barrel

Just over a week ago I went to Mollie’s Bargain Barrel in North East on Peninsula Drive (which is the road next to the Holiday Inn on Rt. 272). I found a small, but great, grocery salvage store. Mollie’s carries some canned goods, boxed meals, coffees, household cleaners, baby supplies, snacks, drinks and pet foods. I found a great assortment of foods and household items.

There were quite a few good deals, like Quaker Oatmeal Squares (smaller box) for $2.00. I also found Starbucks coffee, 12 oz size, for $5.00!!! I hope they have some more when I go back to get some this week. They also had several other brands of canned coffee if you don’t like the dark roast.

Most of the items were damaged goods rather than goods that are past their expiration date. They had a few cans of Vintage Seltzer that were dented free. I grabbed a few and left them in my van. I looked at one two days ago and the top of it was pushed up and expanded. It looked like it would explode if ever opened. I sure hope not because I forgot to take it out of the van!!! (So much for free being good when it comes to seltzer cans!).

Mollie’s has a small table and chairs with toys and coloring books for young children. The store is small enough so a mother can see her child playing as she shops. Very handy for busy moms! I also noticed that the staff was friendly and helpful.

Mollie’s is only open on Thursday, Friday, and Saturday from 10-4 pm. They may change the hours to be open Wednesday too but close, during the week, at 2 p.m.

Come out and investigate Mollie’s while supporting a local business.
