Grocery Outlet

I literally travelled from Los Angeles just to go grocery shopping here. The flood is so much better and it’s cheaper. I wish they would open up a location further up north closer to me, but in the meantime I’ll continue to travel. Plus I get to see my friends and do days nights! They have remodeled the store and added some new items. The staff is still always very friendly and helpful. I will be back in a few months.

Grocery Outlet is basically Disneyland to me.
There are so many great finds here and you never know what you will come across. Some main highlights would be their huge selection of cheese, their cheap frozen foods, and their entire «NOSH» section (natural organic something something), and their wine/​beer. It’s nice that there are other grocery stores nearby because there is no guarantee that they will have what you need, but that’s all part of the fun. They also have a couple aisles of home supply/​dishware type items which are always interesting to browse. PLUS most of their employees rock. Of course not everyone loves their job, but for the most part these guys love their customers (shout out to Stephen, who always remembers my name!)
My only complaint would be their produce section. It is very limited and usually just houses some sad old avocados. But hey, beggars can’t be choosers and I understand that this isn’t a full functioning grocery store.

Glad I only needed a bag of chips. It was my first and last visit. It smells in there. As soon as you walk in the door it slaps you in the face. No grocery store should ever smell. Ever. I don’t see how this place has good reviews…

The staff is very informative and helpful,
I will not shop anywhere else.
I find everything I need under one roof and the prices can’t be beat.
Being a vegetarian,
Finding good eats here is a breeze!
Love it,
Love it,
Love it!!!

I’ve been going to this location for several years now. Definitely a very interesting store.
I’ve stopped trying to figure out how they are able to keep their prices so low, but did and do pay extra special attention to the date codes on the consumables, especially the canned goods. Should you have a large family and a strict budget, I see this store suiting your needs very well. Regardless, should you not be a food snob/​brand name label whore, and are able to turn your purchases (eat/​cook) relatively quickly, I see some money saved for/​by you.

Great deals for immediate consumption, amazing beer, wine&liquor selection. also good amount of kitchen utinsils, gadgets and appliances, kimda of like old school big lots when they carried food and had a freezer section. Staff is is definately above average in customer service, my go to place while budgeting, best buy is organic coconut oil $ 5.99 a big jar… cant go wrong here

I love locally owned and RUN family businesses. The owner works in the store daily his name is Mark.
Why do I like this store? They have good food for a good price. You can get wonderful assortment of cheese and lunch meats. In the frozen isle they have an assortment of fish, veggies, frozen meals even the healthier ones and some vegetarian choices. The organic healthy isle has grown and is atleast half the price. If you are gluten free they have quite a lot of those items as well. I have a GF friend and when I was in the store yesterday I text him over pics of brownies & calm chowder and he was excited.
I also like the non grocery isles, you can get some great deals.

This place is either a hit or miss. They have really good prices and some name brands on foods however pay close attention to the expiration date as this seems to approach real quick. I wouldn’t buy my fruits or veggies here as it doesn’t look fresh in my opinion. I would spend the extra money and purchase them at costco or Albertsons. I do like coming here for their good deals on makeup, and kitchen items. I found Shaina Twain perfume here for $ 10 although they no longer sell it here I have found some pretty cool things you just have to stop by on a good day.

Groceries for less, that’s for sure! The employees are nice and helpful.
They have everything for low prices, fresh products and nothing is outdated on their shelves. They also have weekly sale items on top of their already low prices. Awesome place to shop!

I’ve pass this location ALL the time… I am not sure why but, I just never went in. A friend from work told me how awesome this place is. I spent almost 2 HOURS shopping checking this place out! (I HATE to shop– I like to get in and get out!!!)
I felt like they had really awesome prices! Friendly employees and OWNER! OK Haggens (which I never went too but, heard HOW expensive it was)
I was walking down an isle and I made a remark about the store being dangerous (because I had tings I am sure I didn’t need. LOL) He was so nice… He introduced himself. He told me that if they have something you really like and then it’s gone you can always call them to see if they have it and if they don’t they will order it! There was a gal stocking and cleaning wine. We got to talking and she asked if I’d ever been there. She let me know that she bought the Grocery outlet with her husband and they’ve been working really hard to clean it up (which it looked great)
That made me an even HUGER fan (ok not sure if that’s a word.) but, Let’s support an store that’s not some franchise that doesn’t care about their customers!!!
I spent $ 124.93 and saved 102.84. (not sure if they take coupons as I idn’t have any and didn’t think to ask!)

Muy barata comida, tiene buenas promociones en queso, huevos, cereales, lo único q no es muy bueno son las carnes y no tiene pescado fresco, frutas a muy buen precio siempre !

I used to come here for the deals and hospitality… Ever since the new owners took over, hospitality has been shot right out the window… They act as if they are doing you a favor by being affordable to shop there when it had always been, long before they took it over… I’ve been shopping there for 7 years and never have I ever had it be such an ordeal to get my groceries bagged, especially when I’ve just spent over $ 150… I asked why there isn’t any baggers readily available and I’m told that the owner has said to his staff, «if people want baggers they can go to Walmart». RIDICULOUS! WOW! When the checker finally asked someone if they wanna help bag the person replied with «not really», and then he came to help. That person ended up being the manager with no name tag and all he was doing was stocking. He could have stepped away from it briefly to assist his staff and clientel. If they really want myself and others to take our business elsewhere, that can be done… I will no longer use ‘convienence’ as an excuse to go here… I’ll drive to San Marcos for my heavy shopping after I confirm its not owned by the same owner… Its too bad the old days of seeing the old owner, Mark, dressed in his uniform, working alongside his staff daily, full of kindness and hospitality wasn’t enough for him to keep his business… Now we have to deal with people who lack customer service and they wonder why places like Walmart are capitalizing…

I still LOVE it here. Grocery Outlet has become my first stop on every grocery shopping expedition. I buy whatever I can here first, and move on to the other, more expensive chain markets afterwards.
My go-​to items are: Angel Soft TP, Dave’s Killer Bread (organic, non-​GMO — I pray they keep it in stock!), vitamins, organic bananas, organic pasta, whatever healthy snack bars they have in stock (our faves are Larabars and Fig Bars), almond or soy milk, baby bell peppers, pre-​packaged lettuce… the list goes on. In recent years I think Grocery Outlet’s produce has been monitored a little more closely for freshness, but just check it out first like you would anywhere else.
If you’re on a budget and don’t mind poking around for the stuff you need or didn’t even know you need, check this place out! It’s well worth a try, and the ever-​changing variety keeps things interesting :-)

I love coming in here and especially they have gluten free and organic food for a good price. Oh yes let’s not forget the wine too. It’s affordable. Every time I come in everyone the staff are always friendly and super helpful. You can’t go wrong about this place. I’m always walking out as a happy customer.

My first stop every time I go out grocery shopping. Amazing deals, not just on food but hygiene products and cleaning items. Definitely worth to check out. New items available each week.

I happened across this market on my way to San Diego. I had stopped by one of my favorite El Pollo Loco’s in the area and stumbled upon this discount grocery outlet.
I walked into this market and was immediately greeted by employees. I walked around this market and discovered all types of items at discount prices. I not only found food but I found electronics, clothing and home furnishing.
I walked through the produce section and did not find an organic section. Some of the produce seemed like it was on the downslide of its freshness but if you were planning on eating it the day of I don’t see a problem.
I did a quick inspection of the meat for sale and noticed that the ‘sell by’ date was quickly approaching. Once again if you were planning on cooking with items purchased the day of I wouldn’t worry about it.
I spent a good 30 minutes in here walking around and discovered all types of products on the shelves that I have observed on the shelves of Gelson’s & Whole Foods at a much cheaper price.
I found this market to be clean, the staff to be professional and extremely helpful. As I walked around this store I was approached several times by staff members asking if I needed assistance which I declined.
I would describe this place as a fancy version of Food 4 less. If I happened to live closer to this market I would without question frequent this establishment.
If you are looking to cook breakfast, lunch or dinner on a budget than look no further than this market.

This place is great for some things and others are hit or miss.
I mostly come here for (relatively) healthy baked products– crackers, cookies, cereal that are whole grain. You can get regular brand name stuff like Kashi and Newman’s Own, as well as off-​brand products as well.
I was first turned on to this place when I learned that Starbucks last production of ice cream was to be found here. (I loved that mocha java chip!)
If you shop organic or gluten free, you can find a ton of stuff at half the regular price or less. Example– 20 organic eggs for just over $ 4!
The meat section is actually pretty decent. Tonight my family enjoyed some very tasty top sirloin from Harris Ranch that was just $ 8/​lb. I also enjoy the coppa they offer– it’s first rate flavor, but slices with ends at a fraction of the price.
The jury is still out on the produce– some things are great and others don’t always seem to be the freshest. But still worth looking.
Don’t let the location put you off– worth a trip.

In complete shock right now. GROSSery outlet, 4 stars?! I understand every one is looking for a deal, and that’s great I love deals! But I am not willing to pay less for something that is
A. EXPIRED (check the expiration dates especially in cold foods, if it’s not already expired you only have maybe 3 – 4 days to eat it!)
B. They re-​sticker new expiration dates. If you see a bright orange sticker from a sticker gun I highly doubt it came from the manufacture!
C. MOLD. I have actually seen mold on food in the store and there cheese which is suppose to expire in a month is covered within a week.
Just because you see name brands at a cheaper price does not mean it’s a good buy.

This place is fantastic for its cheap prices and selection. It ranges from food choices to even gadgets, clothes, and furnishings on the side. I always stop by for their incredible deals on energy drinks and other quick snacks. Theres also some dietary supplements and protein powders that they have on good price as well.
The only con to this place is the line that sometimes forms because only 1 – 2 registers are open, but then again, i’ve only been there during a certain part of the day so I can’t give a full day long analysis on it.
In any case, its an excellent grocery store that really stands for its name of a bargain.
Brykelle is the best!

I love this store. A wide variety of organic items at great prices. Store is clean and staff are very helpful. Love knowing how much I’ve saved after every trip. Oh, and the complimentary coffee is yummy too.

Fallen on hard times, or just a Cheap Bastard, Grocery Outlet is the place for you.
Grocery Outlet is loaded with name brands, usually stuff that didn’t sell well, discontinued items, or food items fast approaching spoilage dates. I would say it’s very similar to 99 cent city and Big Lots because there’s a bunch of diverse «stuff» to pick through. It’s definitely worth an hour of your time.
Know this!
— Trippy music blasting throughout the store, circa 50 and 60’s. Major head trip.
— Some of the notable brands are Harris Ranch Beef, Scharffen Berger chocolate, and Häagen-​Dazs ice cream.
— CHECK expiration dates. I found a few items that expired in January.
— Not everything is a «great» deal, some items cost the same Wal Mart.
