Marcs is a god-send if you happen to be both budget- and brand-concious. They always have the best prices around on name brand chips, sodas, pretty much anything theyt sell. This helps stretch the grocery budget a bit... Until you go through 'Isle 1.' This is the area that is like a mini-Big Lots. All sorts of cool close-out stuff as well as items for whatever holiday is around the corner.
The only downside is that you have to pay with cash or check. They don't do any sort of cards. At All. No really.
They do have an ATM inside the door, so if you forget, you can at least run and get some cash.
PROS: Great prices, name brands, discount section
CONS: No debit or credit cards.
