How do we get our products?
In some case we just find great deals from the vendors or manufacturers we work with through What a Crock and pass the savings on to our customers.
A large portion of our inventory comes from canceled contracts. This happens when a large company has a contract to buy a certain amount of food and they do not meet their commitment for that week, month, quarter, etc. The food then goes up for auction. The distributor or manufacturers do not care what they sell it for because the company that signed the contract is responsible for paying the difference.
We're able to bid in theses auctions because we have the storage capacity to buy very large lots of food, and our owner (Justin) is crazy enough to purchase tractor trailer loads of things like french fries or fillet mignon. When we win a bid, we will post the products on bulkfoodsdelco.com and Facebook. Most of the products we post will be up to 50% less then wholesale pricing.
