Has anyone seen anything like this in the UK?

I read this article this morning, and I don't know whether our direct equivalent are the likes of Costco and Aldi/Lidl or whether there are such things as Salvage Grocery, Reclaimed Freight Centers or Discount Groceries hidden away in our big cities, anyone know of any??

    Also check out Food Bargains who often have similar stock to Approved Foods but their carriage charge is very slightly lower.
