Surplus Outlet is an outlet grocery store and you need to fully understand that when entering…read more There are potential deals here, but you have to know your prices and watch your expiration dates. Store is located just outside of Northumberland on Route 11, immediately next to the American Legion. Parking lot can get tight if the store is busy and it's built on a downhill slope, so unattended shopping carts can roll away. What will you find product wise? A decent fresh fruit/vegetable section. Frozen food section with a lot of discontinued products. Tons of canned good including bulk #10 cans. This location off season sells various fountain fireworks. They also have small kids toy selection. Compared to the Berwick store, this one feels like it has less stock in general. Why I knock a few stars off is you need to check expiration dates on EVERYTHING. No exceptions and at this store they are less well marked on items like cereal. Toiletries and other general pharmacy items are not competitively priced. Paper products have about the same quality as generic items at Dollar General (not great.) Overall, I like Surplus Outlet, and it's worth stopping in to see what they have.

We discovered this discount grocer while camping at nearby Splash Magic. I'm a fan of discount…read moregrocers over traditional grocery stores so finding one so close was a Godsend as we typically buy our food in the area we stay instead of bringing it from home. The store is spacious for a discount grocer and had a large section of beauty and health products, more so than others. Many were damaged packaging or expired but that's to be expected. What I didn't expect was such a large and impressive freezer and produce section. Had I had more room in our travel trailer camper I would have bought a ton more! Prices were low and the selection was very broad and fully stocked. Ditto for the produce which looked to be in very good condition and not "seconds". Since discount grocers tend to carry discontinued products I did find several items I'll probably never find again, but at least I enjoyed them once! The staff on the floor was also helpful in directing me to the dept I was looking for. The cashier however had the personality of a slug, and when hubby and I tried to engage in conversation with her she made eye contact but no response. Four stars because although they had a cart wipe station the wipes were completely dried out. A sign at the door insisted there would be no entry unless masked. However a big family with a ton of kids (all touching stuff and a muck around the store) ignored the mask rule and were allowed entry. Also when I tried to go back Sunday on our way home to stock up they were closed. No Sunday hours is a huge let down.

I get the hype - it's delicious, home-cooked meal style food, friendly service, and reasonable prices that make return visits hard to resist. It's a buffet style eatery where you weight and pay for what you get. They always have ham and chicken on the menu (which are delightful) and they rotate through other specialty items throughout the week and year. I'm a big fan of the meatloaf personally! It's usually busy, but I don't ever feel cramped or rushed. There is also a large store for groceries and bulk food supplies, and they also cater! This is a must visit location if you're in the area, and a place worth adding to the rotation if you're local!

I'm from Altoona but have been working in Niagara Falls so we eat there Friday and sometimes Saturday evening. I gather up my food for the week, freezing some of it and putting some in the cooler.

When I contacted the store I was given the runaround. I have been waiting 6 months, without a working stove, for resolution. I was promised a new stove and am I still waiting. I am very disappointed with the lack of customer service and the company policy that apparently allows a customer to go without a working stove for so long. Seniors are on a fixed income and I do not have disposable income to waste money on a non working stove. I also do not have the money to go out and buy another new stove after just six months. I am still hoping for the company to resolve this issue

The flea market has a very wide variety of items from antiques to tools to food to household supplies to blankets and vegetables and dog bones. Not much changes from year to year, but you end up wanting to keep going back for the tried and true favorites (we tend to pick up big jugs of Maple Syrup when we're there), and the special finds (on our last trip we bought a beer stein). The prices aren't always cheap -- the vendors who deal in antiques tend to know what their wares are worth, but most are willing to haggle. You have to pay to park -- I believe it's $5. You can also park across the street in someone's yard for $2 if you'd like to save a little a walk a smidge farther. We typically go the yard route simply because it's a little quicker to get in and out. Expect to spend 2 hours or so walking around if you want to see everything and bring the sun screen -- there isn't a lot of tree cover.

What I can tell you for me, once was enough. To all those people that are saying this is a great place, one-of-a-kind spot, yeah, that's true. But I don't think it's unique enough to warrant a return visit for me. I won't deny the fact that there are some deals to be found here, but those deals are outweighed by the overpricing of everything else here. Think of this place as a sort of Big Lots or Ollies. Some items are damaged, but still good. Customer service is lacking which aligns with the lack of common curtesy from the customers. They have no awareness that you may be near them and will not move for you to browse. Forget about getting to the coolers.
