Winco Foods

Wow. The MOST RUDE employees you will ever encounter ANYWHERE. On my second visit there yesterday. Second time RUDE staff encounter at check out. Seriously, these people want you to do their jobs. I was buying CASES of Pelegrino water. Inquired with staff regarding moving bottles to load CASES into my cart. RUDE woman looked at me like I was asking for a trip to Mars. Finally got some help. Got to cash out. Cashier did not want to look up code and wanted ME to open closed cases so he could scan bottles. REALLY? Left it there and walked out. THE MOST inconvenient and RUDE place to shop.

Only place my family and I will shop. One thing is my wife says she wishes you guys had a better produce section and I can’t argue because she’s usually the one making the grocery list and doing the cooking and not the Walter White kind lol, but other than that great selections better pricing and no trashy Walmartness lol sorry I had to. By the way the General Tso’s chicken you guy’s make is incredible also the candy selection rocks lol and I don’t know why but even our 6yr old gets excited when we tell him we’re going to WinCo. Oh and the baked goods section also is great. Love the pistachio muffins you guys have there ¹⁰⁄₁₀

Interesting, first time I have been to Winco and it reminds me of a Costco. I only bought toilet paper here as it doesn’t carry some of the other brand name items I buy (need Fry’s and the rest for those).
Credit card is not accepted, cash or debit only.
I think there are two Unilocal pages for this same location. Mods, please combine them.

Nice selection, easy parking, prices are a different story.
I saw signs displaying competitor prices for things that I knew for a fact were not correct. Some of the things I got there I knew were much lower at Walmart or Fry’s but I was there and didn’t want to make another grocery store trip.
At the register you cannot swipe your card until they are done scanning merchandise, which is time inefficient and slows the check-​outs especially if the person ahead of you is over the age of 70.
The self bagging is also an odd practice and slows things when the person ahead of you are bagging a weeks worth of groceries for a family of four.
Some of their bulk foods are a bargain, but not a huge savings. Their selection of wine and beer is anemic at best.
Overall the store is clean. Produce and meats are decent, selection good.
The deli consistently under-​fills plastic food containers. Always order a size over what you want since they never fill them. By the time you get your groceries home the contents will have settled by 50% so always request the next size up.
This store also has no signage on Power Rd or Hampton either so you gotta know where it is before you go looking. I don’t get the rationale behind that choice. No, actually I do, it’s greed.

I really wish everyone would make the switch to Winco! I rave about this grocery store all the time!
I’m 100% a food snob, I can admit it. Other than cheat meals, I don’t eat or purchase anything processed. With that, grocery trips tend to be pretty expensive. I’ve always known of Winco, since it opened a couple years ago, but it’s not very close to home. There’s actually about 7 grocery stores between my house and Winco, I never made a point to shop here until one day I ran in to grab something after I left Sports Authority across the parking lot. I was amazed at all there was to offer. Without further ado, here’s why I choose to shop here over any other store:
1.) Their Bulk Food selection is one of the best things to ever happen to me! Well, like Top 40. Almost anything dry that you could think of is in there, i.e. Olive Oil, PB (okay, the first two aren’t necessarily «dry»), Rawhide Dog Bones, Dehydrated Fruits, Oatmeal, Granola, Trail Mix, Jelly Beans, PB Cups, Chocolate Covered Pretzels, Tea Bags, Almond Flour, Dried Herbs, Honey, Pasta, etc. I could go on for awhile. — Always check the bulk selection prior to purchasing any name brand dry foods throughout the aisles. It’s much cheaper!
2.) MEAT! I always felt like meat from Wal-Mart’s deli shrank excessively while I was cooking it. That’s because it does. Google: «Trisodium Phosphate.» — Anyhow, I notice when I purchase Chicken, or Steaks at Winco, I end up with the amount I paid for.
3.) Produce Quality. For starters, they have a much larger Organic Produce selection than most stores. What I can’t find in the Organic bunker, I am able to find throughout the rest of the produce section. All of the produce I purchase here lasts quite a few days longer than when I get it at other stores. The prices on the fruits/​veggies at Winco, are either equivalent or lower than Wal-​Mart.
4.) The whole Check-​out Line situation is a breeze! I love that I get to bag my own groceries! I bring my own reusable-​bags, it’s refreshing that the cashiers don’t cop an attitude when their eye catches them in my cart.
Bonus point! 5.) There’s huge parking spaces. This used to be a Costco building, so if you drive something larger than a beer can, there’s room between vehicles to load you groceries in the cab.
Everything about this store is winning! Just remember, *NO CREDIT CARDS.* I’ve seen quite a few people get through the line with a cart full of groceries, just to be turned away for not having *Cash, Debit or a Check.*

I love Winco, and this store is no exception. Being an Oregonian, they always keep me well stocked with the tillamook brand items you just can’t seem to find anywhere else (yogurt, ice cream, etc)! Also in love with the Sanitas chips and bandon cheese (recently bought by tillamook, cheaper and just as good — who can eat that off brand cheese? not me).
Beware that you do have to bag your own groceries (this adds a little stress to my shopping trip, but nothing unmanageable — bring helpers if possible) and they only take debit/​cash. I have found that they are typically cheaper than the other grocery stores, and they have a whole lot more to offer.

I feel odd writing a review about a grocery store, but here it goes. I love winco, the employees are all really kind and helpful. The prices are just right. Meat is good, even the seafood. I usually get their salmon patties and they are seasoned perfectly. What I don’t like is their produce. Their vegetables are perfectly fine, but they almost always have a horrible fruit selection. Other than that, I go here quite often.

Was trespassed out of their store for taking pictures of what was on sale so I could let my wife know the prices in their store this place is a pathetic joke a waste of any time money or effort involved

Bye bye Wol Mort with your small meat selection, overpriced foods and rinky dinky feel.

Something’s were appealing, like ground beef for $ 1.88 lb in what appeared to be a 10lb roll. That’s a bargain I can’t find anywhere else.
The bulk items are kind of a turn off. Here I’m thinking people are sticking their hands in to nosh on a few goodies and sure enough, some guy sticks his hand in and pulls out two gummy candies. Clearly he is mentally challenged and couldn’t read the «DO NOT…» sign that’s applied to every few barrels.
I was surprised by the variety of products they carry.
There was what appeared to be a massive selection of coffee on the wall but I didn’t get a close up view.
I picked up some Greek yogurt, Bolthouse Farms beverage, Kefir, and a couple other items which were priced much lower than any of the other Valley grocery stores. Not knowing the types of meat cuts and prices I couldn’t compare WinCo to any of the area grocery stores.
Overall feeling, I am not going out of my way to shop here. I
I was also surprised to learn they have limited payment options too.

I am lucky enough to live 5 minutes away from this Winco Foods store. Shopping around for groceries for a young man like me can be difficult because I want to get the best deal because I have to drive to multiple stores. Ever since this Winco has been added to the area, it has made life a bit easier and more pleasant because of their food choices. I absolutely love the fact that they let you buy food from the bins and pay for as much as you wish to bag. If I wasn’t just a few pieces of candy because I have a sweet tooth, it can be satisfied without having to shell out the full retail price of a package. I also love the fact that they are open 24 hours a day, this is very convenient for people who love shopping without having to deal with traffic inside and outside the store. They have great prices and their produce is unbelievable ! Some of the freshest fruits and vegetables you have ever seen. I no longer am forced to deal with Walmart’s monstrosity of a produce section. There have been a few times that I had to use their restroom, I was afraid of walking into a public restroom and having to step over toilet paper, puddles, etc. Boy was I wrong! Their bathroom was literally the cleanest public restroom I have ever used by far! The store seems to pride themselves on cleanliness and customer service as well as a great selection of produce. I will be returning to this store regularly and recommend you do too!

I like Winco but it’s not the store I would go to on a weekly basis for grocery shopping. WInco offers a large selection without a doubt.
There best products for prices are produce, fruits, vegetables, canned goods, milk, eggs, and frozen foods.
Their meats leave a lot to be desired for us since we prefer higher cuts of meats that don’t have by products or additives.
Their deli is minimal. I do not like the fact that they pre-​slice a lot of their meat and place in front cooler for display. I prefer any deli meat to be cut to order regardless.
The store is massive so expect to spend a lot of time walking the aisles. The lighting is good, but check out can be a pain. Lately I have noticed they don’t have many lanes open since the northerners aren’t here right now.
You do have to bag your grocery items, which doesn’t bother me at all. If you bring your own reusable bags I believe they give you $.10 off for each one.
They take checks, cash, or debit — NO CREDIT CARDS! I think this is also a great idea — every little bit of savings can be given back to the consumer :)

Love WINCO. Great prices, very good meat and produce. Probably 5% less expensive than WalMart and the clientele inside is usually… better ;)

You can get some good discounts here, and a lot of bulk items such as granola, spices, and nuts. The store is kind of like walking into a warehouse, with minimal décor and more of an industrial feel. Aisles are easy to navigate through, and there’s a decent selection of foods that you would need. To keep prices low, they only accept debit if you pay by card.

Wow, got a lot of food and snacks for half the price of Walmart, really shocked I thought it wasn’t going to be a huge difference, but my wallet says different! This place is huge compared to the FoodsCo I’m used to going to in CA. It’s like a cheaper costco but you don’t have to buy everything in bulk! Lines aren’t crazy long like at walmart and staff are a lot friendlier too!
Plenty of parking, they take card and cash. And ice is 98cents for a 10lb bag! Not bad WinCo not bad… :)

I Love Winco! They got the Big Bulk containers, plus they carry Dave’s Killer Bread! They have a larger selection of produce than most of the grocery stores around here, they are open 24 hours and got a big parking lot. I usually come here to buy my snacks for when I get the munchies and also my fruits because there is more selection at cheaper prices. They’ve got a bakery and a seafood and Deli in this location. These guys also carry the S&B curry mix, Sapparo Ichiban saimin noodles and Aloha shoyu.

After living in Idaho from 2005 – 2007 coming back to Mesa, I wished that there was a Winco. Well after wishing it came true. I love Winco, they got some of the best prices for groceries. My favorite thing to do on my way to the movies is to stop by Winco and get a bag of candy to smuggle into the theater. Winco even has fry sauce, which I loved about living in Idaho.

win win at WINCO! Love this place it’s worth the drive from Gilbert. Great prices and a very clean store. friendly staff. Just beware of the seniors who may mow you down to get in line ahead of you. I let them go and smile knowing I have a ton of food to cook for my family at affordable prices. lovely produce selection. Love the bulk items including spices, olive oil, and fresh ground peanut butter it’s like whole foods items at much cheaper prices in bulk section including pastas, rice, granola, beans etc.
so thrilled one is going up in Gilbert !!

Winco or Walmart, which store is the better to shop at???
For me, who cares, I just wanted to check them out! And grocery shopping is my number one most hated chore.
Grabbed my daughter & grandsons on a Friday night and headed on out there, I had my grocery list with me but really didn’t think I would be getting everything I needed there.
Winco reminded me of Food 4 Less out in California with the set up, but as soon as I walked I started to see the low prices, and for me that’s a win win,
For a Friday night around 6ish, it wasn’t too packed, we walked up and down the aisles and looked at everything there was. I did knock out my grocery list and even got some extras and it didn’t put a dent in my wallet, in fact left me some money haha.
I liked what I got, and liked the prices of things, and I will be back and this time price comparing things.

Came for the grand opening today with my mom. The prices are fantastic, and the employees were very nice and helpful. Even the Vice President was there, and we talked to him. They have a wide selection of items, and a impressive produce and meat department.
Even though the line to get a buggy was almost 2 hrs and the check out lines wrapped around both sides of the inside I never once felt agitated or annoyed about it because of the employee and management presence. Not to mention every lane but two were open, that makes a big difference.
I will MOST definitely be back to Winco!
