I bought a case of Yellowtail white wine for $17 thats less than $1.50 a bottle,
I also bought a 24 pack of toilet paper double rolled for $6.00, a one pound bag of coffee for 1.75 and a few other really good deals. I went to an auction in Tampa, Fl near where I live. I was a little un- sure of auctions but it was fairly easy.
I will be visiting other nearby auctions as well as going back to this one, what deals...
If anyone is in Tampa I forgot the name of it but it is near the Fl state fairgrounds off 301.
Tough times require us to save anyway we can and think outside the norm.

This is interesting - and I've heard of these happening in Tampa. The stuff is from restaurants, stores, liquidation. Probably not the best thing for perishables, but you can get up to half off. I'm assuming there are no coupons accepted, which would make some deals nearly free.
If you are stockpiling things that don't routinely come on sale or have a high price, these can be a very good deal.
Do you remember the name of the company that did the auction? I'd like to see if there are alerts for them doing this sort of thing around the country.
