Molly Malone – You’re welcome! I know what you mean about not feeling comfortable going down to the ports – and it’s possible you wouldn’t be allowed to attend the auctions anyway. However, you might consider making a phone call to the Port Authority just to ask if they know the names of auction houses that deal in salvage groceries, and then making a phone call or two to the auction houses to see if they could tell you the names of the companies that buy such items at their auctions. They might not want to reveal the names but it’s possible they might be willing to at least give you some info that could help you locate some salvage/outlet grocers in your general area.
