Seabra Foods

I only used the bottle return here. Placed smelled like a dump. Got my change and ran out. Something must have gone bad or moldy and no one cared to clean or throw it out. Very dismal employees. I only stood at the service desk for 30 seconds and had the same three employees look at be before one cashier said she would take care of my bottle returns.

This grocery store is horrible very dirty looking the cashiers are very rude I have never seen any single one that has been nice yet the store looks outdated and they are always out of everything

sales are great, food prices are comparable, staff is friendly & helpful and the store is
of all, they sell beer & wine at terrific prices!

went to cash in our empty bottles/​cans in the horrendous redemption area… wow the smell of piss/​swamp water, the flies and the garbage strewn all over the floor thanks to the lowlifes who sit in there and drink and piss them selves daily… also used the restroom and saw a deli worker use the stall and walked right out without washing his hands in the dispicable excuse of a restroom, which obviously hasnt been cleaned, sanitized in years… only reason to go in the store is for the beer when it’s in stock that is !!!

This place smells like what I would imagine rotting flesh smells like… but they have cheap wine and beer so whatever. I’d stay away from the meat though.

What may I say about A.J. Seabra’s supermarket in beautiful downtown Attleboro? Well, for starters, I have seen bugs in the baked goods display cases on a few occasions, and also suspect the freezers have refrozen already-​melted ice cream.
But apart from these and other possible health violations (including a horrible stench in the deli and meats area), my biggest complaint is this store has higher prices than even the better operated, major supermarket chains such as Shaw’s and Stop & Shop. And given this store is located in a neighborhood comprised of residents mostly from the lower-​income class, who may ill afford its prices, this makes no sense.
I have also written to the store’s manager about stocking several items (common ones, of popular brand-​name products in frozen foods and yogurt) I regularly purchase at other stores, all to no avail, as not a one of these items has been stocked since my letter. So much for listening to the needs of one’s customer base.
I think another branch of Shaw’s or even the expansion of the well-​run Hannaford’s chain into this area, with competitive pricing and better (longer) hours, would do far better than this poorly-​run excuse for a supermarket that appears like some holdout from the 1970s.
What keeps this place in business, sadly, are its beer and wine sales. And this situation also attracts a certain amount of derelicts to the shopping center in which this store is located. On one occasion I was approached outside this store for «some spare change» from a young man I knew to be a heroin addict. It was sad, too, as in that young guy I saw someone who, only a few years before, had probably been someone’s relatively healthy and hopeful son and possibly brother. I wondered what had led this young man to such dire straits. But that is a subject for social workers and this a supermarket review.
With a better-​managed supermarket chain, with some security and open until midnight or perhaps even 24 hours (something lacking in the region except for a Walmart in North Smithfield), I think such a supermarket could thrive in this same location. And even with a new supermarket chain, I think with better management, some of the same good employees at Seabra’s could still keep their jobs in this location, and maybe even some new jobs created.
I am one who thinks it not proper to make complaints unless one also offers some constructive suggestions. So I hope I have done this here. But I was also motivated to write this after I read a few of the reviews others wrote with thoughts similar to mine about this store.

This is a place I have gone before for meat when ever I BBQ and for alcohol, mainly wine.
They have good prices on meat and poultry. Also, they have a wide variety of wines at good prices.
Appearence isn’t at all impressive but clean for the most part and relatively organized.
The do carry other items and products that are not in the normal chain grocery stores. Basically, it is like going to a corner grocery store but a lot larger.

It may not have everything … but it does have what I love and that is Portuguese groceries! Yay!
Lupini Beans, Pickled Onions, Sumol, Port Wine. all of these things get me excited and I don’t have to go far for them!
Some things here I wouldn’t test because they’re either generic. or just meat that I don’t know the true freshness… but things like pasta, paper towels, milk etc. small necessities are fine to get here.
Cheap wine and beer… get it here!

Well…
You want tuna steaks cheap and don’t care about where or when they were sloughed off the carcass?
Come on in!
If you like luderfisk, baccalau or salted cod enough to buy in a whole 3lb fillet?
Come on in!
If you like frozen goat heads and their blank stare?
Come on in!
If you like the most hairy rotiss. Chicken ever?
Come on in!
If you like circus peanuts, pork rinds, head cheese, moxie, potato sticks, taster’s choice decaf, rye bread with carroway, braunschweigger and the most generic yellow mustard on earth?
Come on in!
Hey, you can also pick up a good bottle of $ 4.99 tawny port to wash everything down!

For starters, the staff running the store always thinks they are busy when in fact they lack the skills to run the show. Returning bottles and cans is a real nightmare here as the machines never work and when they do, they are «to busy» to cash you out ! Secondly, NEVER buy fish there. It is very outdated and we have had to return it several times before quitting as the computer spits out a different sell by date than it is advertised. THE FDA could have a field day in this store ! SORRY, BUT WE WILL NO LONGER USE THIS STORE ANYMORE !
