OK I'm totally clashing with the vibe of these comments but I've just got back from the 'store' (aka supermarket) in London - Sainsbury's, fairly dull. Visiting supermarkets abroad is definitely a must - hard agree - they're like a window into how people live - comforting! But I also realise how stressful I find them. Too many choices! Too much food (and most of it isn't even food). Too many people stocking up on endless 'stuff' (the 'brow effect'?). Do we all need this much food? It panics me. Long winded way of saying Gross Out sounds awesome. A bit of scarcity, unpredictability in the stocks sounds lighter.
Grocery Outlet def carries the weirdest ice cream flavors. From what I've read online, shopper's favorites are USS Butterscotch, Hot Honey (a GREAT faerie name BTW), and something called Supersalty Black Licorice. The universal pan is called The Void; there's even an on-line group warning everyone to 'Avoid The Void.'
Without a doubt! I am ashamed to say that we have bought cat food there with names like Modest Meals and Savory Spoonables because they were so cheap and when we served them Dewey, Fanny and Little Girl all looked up at us with 'WTF!' on their angry little faces.
this reminds me of the time my wife and I planted a garden and for several weeks after we started to harvest the veggies I couldn't really eat any of them bcs I was so grossed out by the fact that I finally realized (and somehow never had before?) that plants are not only dirty, they are actually made out of dirt! or soil, but same thing. Great piece! I'm going to check out this "grossery" for sure
ok did you notice the burbank gross out is under new ownership!? apparently the old owner sold it so he could move to another state and re-marry his ex-wife!!! the new owners are apparently "very nice" according to the employee informant i talked to! and that's all on the hot goss from brubank gross out!!
Well, recently my spouse hit the Gross Out LOTTERY because the lucky thing happened: OATLY. The good one, which equates to 2% milk or something like that. He bought 8 cartons and would've gotten more except for guilt and shlepping capacity. I often think of starting an Oatly resell business out here in the High Desert.
It's-It is a top ten food.

I’ve never shopped at a Gross Out so don’t have a favorite item. But I can tell you my favorite line in this great essay: “Revere a butch!”
💪🏆
Can I get directions to the dyke gutter?
follow the sound of despair
Nooooo! 😆
also inspired by this post, had to order this: https://www.redbubble.com/i/t-shirt/Gross-Out-Bargain-Market-by-mumblingmynah/172097191.R05UB
for awhile I thought about making bootleg Gross Out merch: thongs and boxers
would buy (when it eventually makes its way to the burbank gross out)

avoid the void is a bit like “the nordstrom rack effect.” Like u get so carried away u might buy something that’s not right just because it’s cheap

Ohhhh! Now I get it! The TJ Maxx of Whole Foods! I’m in. And that should be their ad campaign.
get over there!

food is dirt

I LOVE THIS! Marrying an ex-wife is exactly the kind of vibe I want from a Gross Out steward!
You definitely just turned the Burbank Gross Out into a new dyke cruising spot
Noted
DYKE NIGHT, Tuesday’s 4-6 in pet aisle
"I've always thought plants were dirty. " Hah! Perfection.
