GLADEWATER, Texas (KLTV) – As more East Texans seek discount areas for their strained food budgets, the supply chain may create an even more challenging situation.
Food pantries and salvage grocers like Sasquatch Trading Post in Gladewater are useful alternatives for families trying to stretch their budgets.
Salvage grocers buy food items that have been mislabeled or have damaged packaging to resell at extremely discounted prices to the public.
However, supply chain problems may result in those items that they normally count on, being pressed back into inventory by the companies they buy from.
And now, shoppers are buying so much, that they’ve had to put purchase limits on items, said the trading post’s manager.
Store manager Sam Pospychala explained what they’re seeing.
