F.A.Q.

Almost Perfect … what does that mean?

  • Almost Perfect is the best way to describe the goods we carry. The products may be factory seconds, overstocked, a manufacturer close out, or change of packaging. The products may be “almost perfect” but the taste and the savings are FANTASTIC!

Why do grocery manufacturers liquidate products?

  • Like many other manufacturers, food manufacturers often have overstocks, product seconds and occasions when they need to “close out” or liquidate a product.
  • The manufacturer may not be able to sell it to the intended retailer or restaurant so they sell it to us at dramatically discounted prices! Often you can save 30-70% off regular suggested retail.

Is the product the same as what I would find in the grocery store?

  • Many of our products are manufactured as first quality but due to minor imperfections they may not meet factory specifications. Change of packaging, discontinued or slightly damaged items ensure the deals are always great!
  • Small imperfections mean BIG SAVINGS for you! We are so confident in our merchandise that we offer a 100% money back guarantee.

Why do you say “Shop us often”?

  • New, incredible bargains are arriving on a daily basis! Many times we only receive a one time shipment and limited quantities, so one thing for sure, when you see it, buy it! Stock up as much as you can before it disappears forever!

Why do you charge for bags?

  • To keep our costs down, and our prices low, we do our best to recycle our cardboard boxes for customers to use to take home their groceries. We offer plastic bags for your convenience at a cost of 5¢ each. We encourage you to bring bags or a cooler from home.

How can I franchise a store?

  • We are not franchising at this time.

What forms of payment do you accept?

  • We accept Interac and cash.

How Does it Work?

ajaxextMany customers inquire about where the product comes from and why is it “Almost Perfect”.  We deal directly with major Canadian and US manufacturers and distributors, whom from time to time run into inventory problems. The majority of the product we see is usually a result of overproduction.

The manufacturer has produced more than they predicted would sell over a period of time, and they need to clear the product out of their warehouse…..they call us.

For example- Manufacturer A goes to market with a new product – predicting they will sell 100,000 units.  They only sell 75,000 units – so they are overstocked with 25,000 units – the manufacturer calls us.

We also see product that may be deemed “IMPERFECT” due to cosmetic imperfections.  These minor issues no way affect the taste- however the product may not look the way the producer intended.  

On many occasions, you will not be able to see the imperfections, as they look perfect to us- but they are not how the manufacturer intended…. so this means incredible savings for you.

For example- Manufacturer B produces desserts for a major restaurant chain. The restaurant wants the cakes to serve 8 however they were cut incorrectly into 10 pieces.

The restaurant rejects the cakes based on the size of cake slices……the manufacturer calls us.

We also carry product that may have undergone a packaging change, or has promotional material on the packaging making it no longer current.  Since packaging costs and materials are expensive, the manufacturer may decide to produce fresh product to fill the boxes to recoup some of the costs.

For example- Manufacturer C did a promotional tie in with a free product coupon printed on the packaging. The coupon is no longer valid therefore cannot be sold in the tradiional markets.

The manufacturer fills the product with fresh merchandise and – they call us.

We source the majority of our products opportunistically.  However, on some items, this may not be possible.  The savings may not be as phenomenal however they are still well priced and we feel it is important to stock them for your convenience.
