"Grocery Outlet Bargain Market sells branded groceries at discounted prices, often because the products are surplus stock, discontinued, or using last season’s packaging. The selection changes all the time, which means it is not always the place for a tightly planned shop," according to the release. "You may not find the particular coffee you came in for. You may, however, find a cheap wheel of cheese and decide that was the real priority."

Grocery Outlet Bargain Market only has a presence in 16 states, according to the company's website.

The second and third most wanted, Lenspricer.com revealed, are WinCo Foods and Lidl.
