Can you ask your grocery store to stock stuff?

Many small retailers store stock at home, they devote a room, basement, garage,
attic, even a closet... then take the appropriate IRS/State tax deduction...
you could probably storage frozen/refrigerated goods at home and then
depreciate the appliance, deduct the space, the electric, even any
maintainence, including the cost of an extended equipment warranty.
Essentially, as a small business owner, you can have a huge chest... hehe... at
no cost.
