Katrina those are some good places too. We do a lot of 'thrifting' already.
This just came to mind, I just joined a small gym, when SHTF no one will be going to the gym, but (at least this one) has supplements on hand to sell... So protein bars, buckets of protein powder and supplement drinks could last a year or better from what I see there.
That is one I would have never considered and will most likely be untouched until some starts scavanging metal.

You are making the wrong assumption.The aholes that loot wal-marts or targets will go the whole deal and set the place to the torch, after it's been effectively picked clean, out of pure frustration if nothing else.
A little bit off to the side, and yes, I am gonna be called a ghoul for bringing it up... as though this whole thread was virgin-white to begin with. Stinks to be me, but here goes.
What happens to the dead, and their gear?
I think it is a given that they will be scavenged as fast as they are created

nobody ever wants to talk about The Dark Side .... after the retail are looted & burned - the residential areas tore from asunder - next comes the body picking .... you'll eventually see totally naked dead bodies left to rot - picked clean .... there'll be a market for the clothes - especially heavy winter gear - the shoes/boots will become a premium .... anyone with a backpack becomes the supreme target .....
Anything that we might think of, will already be picked by the time we got to it. Either have it in your basement or run the 99% chance risk of never having it post SHTF (If were talking about a national SHTF situation here).
It only takes a matter of minutes after an emergency and all the common locations will ALREADY be looted. Not much longer and some creative thinking, all the OTHER places will have been looted.
I do however keep a mental note of many things... like the location of propane bottles that can be obtained, which might be overlooked by the panicked sheeple.
Hunger is a great motivator, like GF mentioned. The more hunger, the more motivated. Within 2 months, maybe less... if you dont have bullets to protect your "stash", your DRT, someone WILL kill you for your spam, guaranteed.
When it comes down to it, the 4 B's are where its at, everything else are luxuries... (Beans Bullets BandAids Batteries, each section is further broke down naturally). Now, I do NOT overlook the luxuries, they are VERY important too.. but lets face it, without at least the first 3 B's, nothing else matters.

Shit! Those B's. Shit, shit shit.
And here I have been focussing on Bacardi, Baclava, and Babes...
Damn! Back to square one!

Yeah but after the easy good has been used, you can get away with scavenging groups hideouts because not all of them will survive. The ability to provide sustainable food is what will keep people alive long term.
All these shows that have people surviving on canned goods that they are looting years after the event are deluded. All of those will be used up immediately because people will only know those sources. You'll be lucky to find a forgotten can of cat food in somebody's basement.
all the cat food cans in my basement aren't forgotten...
