Worth noting that’s also a Kroger-branded Dip sweater on my sleeve holding up the vacuum-sealed bag, lol
SET 4 – Searcy Kroger Closing
I found this very interesting: obviously, in a grocery store liquidation, it’s the peripheral and perishable products that go on discount first, rather than the main center-store staples that can just be shipped off to a different location when all is said and done. We’ve actually seen examples of both of those categories in those two linked pics, and here in the deli-bakery area I encountered many more of the latter category, including the 10-cent sauce packets on the counter next to the register in the previous image (Ken’s honey mustard: good stuff! And good memories of Auntie Anne’s, haha), as well as a good deal of what was in this refrigerated case adjacent to the counter (notice the red-and-yellow sticker labels at the top left).
But what interested me most of the items on sale in the refrigerated case weren’t the regular consumer-facing products, but rather, this giant industrial-sized five-pound bag of Kroger “homestyle mashed potatoes” for use at the Kroger deli! To their credit, whoever manufactures this stuff for Kroger actually does put “consumer cooking instructions” on the label… but it’s very clear that this is intended pretty much exclusively for Kroger’s in-store deli departments to prepare and sale, and not for consumers to buy directly, lol. This has been my craziest find yet at a Kroger that is closing (seeing as those events typically don’t offer up much of interest anyhow), and honestly one of my favorite finds at any store overall, I think, just based on the sheer unusuality of it!

These places are public so these photos are too, but just as I tell where they came from, I'd appreciate if you'd say who :)
