Schmucker's Bulk Foods & Discount Grocery in Chariton, Iowa, is a friendly store offering good quality and great value, attracting locals and those who travel from throughout Lucas County and surrounding areas. It provides a wide range of bulk foods, discount groceries, and variety store selections. The fantastic little deli features a really good selection of deli fresh meats and cheeses, making delicious made-to-order subs and sandwiches. The main store has good options with very low, extremely cheap prices, allowing customers to save a ton of money. The inventory includes so many different kinds of canned goods, farm fresh honey, tons of baking spices and ingredients, things for canning, and many things made by the Amish. Shoppers can also find paper towels, bath tissue, handmade blankets, milk, drinks, kids juices, snacks, dry goods, jams and jellies, syrups, and soaps. A highlight for some is a snack called "cashew crunch," described as the best snack, similar to a thin butter toffee. A bakery is also opening soon. Customers should note that some food items may be past their best-by date, so checking dates is recommended, though these are not expiration dates. The store only accepts cash or check, not cards. Everyone is extremely friendly, with workers known for their kindness and even singing on occasion. No alcohol is sold.
Very nice people, the lunch meats and cheese are excellent. Homemade sandwiches are great

We love to stop in and support the Amish store. They are always very friendly and always have products that we can’t find at the regular stores. Not to mention, you can’t beat the prices! Bring your cash or check because they don’t take cards.
