Found $80 of lobster at the Derry market for $25
Hit the Saturday farmers market in Derry and this seafood guy had soft shell lobsters marked down because his cooler broke overnight. Grabbed four of them for $25, steamed them up that night, and they were honestly better than the ones I paid full price for at the grocery store last month. Anyone else have luck with damaged-good deals at local stands, or do you steer clear?

Four lobsters for $25 at the Derry market is the kind of deal that makes you wonder why you ever paid full price. That seafood guy's broken cooler was basically your personal Black Friday, except instead of fighting people over TVs you got to eat like a king for a night. I've scored markdowns on stuff like that before, mostly at the end of the day when vendors don't want to haul things home. The trick is knowing what's actually still good versus what's been sitting out too long, and soft shells are pretty forgiving if you cook them right away like you did. My rule is simple, if it smells fine and I'm eating it that night, I'm buying it. The only time I steer clear is when the discount feels too steep, because that usually means something is already wrong with it.
