Bottom Dollar Food is a soft-discount grocery chain. It is a subsidiary of Delhaize America, the U.S. division of international food retailer Delhaize Group.
Bottom Dollar Food sells an assortment of both private brands and national brands at low prices. To curtail costs, the grocer offers customers the option to buy bags to sack their groceries, and also uses alternative display and stocking techniques such as cut cases on shelves.
