Food! Glorious Food!! Food Auction!!

A food auction... I never heard of that before!  But Danny~ of Danny's Auctions in Foster, RI~ says they are "better than coupons"!  Let's try it!  Off hubby and I go for a 6 PM auction.  Walk around and do a preview.  Tables of cereal, cookies, candy,  snacks, cases of chips, sauces, pasta, all kinds of non-perishables.  This looks like fun!  I register and get us a bidder number.  A very entertaining group attends Danny's auctions!  We are hoping it is worth the trip.  Roaming an hour from home for groceries is a bit of a trip.  And it was well worth it!  

Cases of chips~ 12 bags of Wise Bar-B-Q Flavor, the size that sells for about $3 each, and 24 bags of Sweet Potato Chips, the ones that sell for about $1.69 each, ~for $3 a CASE!  We buy chips regularly so we actually covered the cost of gas with the money we saved on chips!  LOL!  There was also a freezer truck full of meats that you bid on and pick up after the auction.  They did walk around with an example of what was being auctioned with those things.  Whole pre-cooked roast beefs~ the kind you see the clerk at a deli go and unwrap when he needs another one~ for $2 a pound!  We bought 4 of those.  Bags of chicken wings.  Sirloin steak burgers.  Candy and cookies for $2  

a bag or box.  All name brand.  Ended up spending $200 and got all this~

You can't really tell, but the shopping bags are all overfull with food.  The 2 banana boxes are full of clementines~ $5 a box.  I don't see the boxes of meat here either.  Going back there tomorrow after the Plainville auction.  Two big auctions in one day!  My idea of a great day!!

Check out Danny's Auctions on Auctionzip or Facebook.  The food auction is the first Saturday of every month.  He also has regular miscellaneous auctions, antique auctions, car auctions, and... livestock auctions!  Someday I am going to go watch one of those.  From the photos it looks like something you only see on tv!
