Grocery Outlet Bargain Market

BUYER BE WARE!!! I bought a 3 pound package of bacon two week ago, having purchased about 30 pounds previously. Upon opening the package I discovered that it was thin, limp, restaurant quality bacon not the thick sliced I had bought before. I attempted to exchange it for a thick sliced but was told that I should have kept my receipt, [knowing that I would be returning the product, not] and since the package had been opened I was out of luck. Their attitude was too bad, I guess for a $ 12 package of is worth losing a dedicated customer.

Love Grocery Outlet, have found some interesting stuff at good prices here. Important: Check dates on food items because they are usually close to expiry.

I’m not huge into discount grocery chains because their selection is pretty limited, but this G.O. is one of my favorite places to shop simply for the «cool» factor. The building used to be a bowling alley and rather than completely gutting the place when the grocery store moved in, they went with it and played up the building’s history. Murals, old bowling lockers and structural supports all clue in shoppers to the good times that were once spent here. The place is really clean and staff are friendly, as well. So make it a point to buy some groceries here if you appreciate a bit of nostalgia and the developers who sought to preserve it.

Something happened to my local Grocery Outlet in Renton; their staff changed and so did the courtesy!
I use to love this store but its no longer FUN to shop there. getting RUSHED at the checkout – in the middle of the day and no one behind me waiting to check out.
Truth is Grocery Outlet’s stock is incredible (in a good way) but another Grocery Outlet is being built in Skyway not too far for me… I will be shopping at this one when its finally built.
Money is extremely tight, I have many choices of where I will spend my $ 190.00 a month for food… guess who gets it NOT stores whose employees who do not have a grasp on treating the customer well… its our money that pays for your job. why should I spend it where I am RUSHED.
Many choices out there GroceryOutlet Renton. you were a pleasure to visit but your lost it.

Haven’t stopped by in around 7 months, but was in the area and am working on saving money, so figured I’d stop by to see if there were any deals! I remember last time I came in I found so much stuff for much lower prices than in my normal grocery stores, but was rather disappointed this time.
Most of the stuff was as much, if not more than, Fred Meyer, Target, Safeway, etc… I thought I found a good deal on some hamburger helped, but it expired in 2 days… $.99 for Gatorade that is $.79 at Fred Meyer, $ 3.99 for some peanut butter that is $ 2.89 at Safeway.
Maybe I’ll wait a few months and come back by… not impressed this at all this visit.

Sometimes you can find marked down items, BUT they end up being expired or are going to that day. Be sure to check.

This is my favorite grocery store in the world. OK, I haven’t been to EVERY grocery store on the planet, but I’m fairly confident that even if I had, Grocery Outlet would still remain at the top of my list.
Further proof of how much I love Grocery Outlet: When I was looking to buy a house, I wanted to be within 5 minutes of a Grocery Outlet. You probably think I’m crazy, and after re-​reading this sentence, I’m inclined to agree with you.
Every time I walk in, it feels like Christmas. You never know what products you’ll find, which I find thrilling. (God, I need to get a life.) Grocery Outlet has introduced me to so many items that I probably never would’ve found during my strolls at Safeway or QFC. For example, Steve’s Southern Banana Pudding ice cream, which also includes honey coated vanilla wafers. (Are you salivating yet? I went back and bought 3 more pints, because like many products at Grocery Outlet, once they’re gone, they’re gone for good.) Sometimes you can find large bottles of Naked Juice for $ 2.99, which I consider a steal! They also have a good selection of natural and organic products on the cheap.
Yes, SOME of the products are near expiration, so you’ll need to double check the dates… however, not ALL products fall into that category. If you cook somewhat regularly, you wouldn’t have products sitting in your fridge and pantry for 8 months anyway, would you?
I make Grocery Outlet my first stop when grocery shopping. Anything that I couldn’t find at Grocery Outlet will usually be bought at Safeway or QFC.
If Grocery Outlet were to ever close, I’m not sure what I’d do with myself.

Hey its no Safeway but you can save some good money here.
The products are fairly random but if you know what you are looking for you will score big.
Watch out for some of the expired stuff and make sure you check out the dates.

Stop here first if you are throwing a party! They always have a good selection of cheeses and dips, as well as chips and crackers. Plus wine and beer. My snooty friends have no idea how little I spend on brie and goat cheese.
Also, I buy snack stuff for lunches and easy frozen dinners for when I work late. Keep an eyeball peeled for organic foods as well. I also love they have cheap prices on whole cartons of builder and luna bars.
I would skip the produce. It’s not much cheaper than at the grocery store and it always looks a little sad.

It’s inexpensive and sometimes they have unique items. Yes, some thing’s are near expiration date but it’s simple to double check for that.
It’s close to my house and I like to save money for things I’m going to end up eating within two weeks anyway.
The cleaning supplies and pet section are cheaper than your typical grocery store and the bathroom products are more affordable as well.
Overall I like good deals and I always get that here.

I’ve been going to this store at least once weekly since it opened and I’ve always had a great experience. Interesting food selection, great wine, and for the most part, very nice staff. Recently I’ve come across a very hostile cashier, I believe her name is Ashley. She barely acknowledges your presence, throws your items into the bag and sneers at you as you leave. At first I thought it was just me, but after talking to some of my neighbors who have also had the displeasure of dealing with her, they echoed the same experience. Now when I go (I live conveniently close by) I try and avoid her line, and if that’s not possible, I drop my items and leave. It’s sad that one bad apple really can ruin the whole barrel. I hope the managers wise up and get her enrolled in customer service training before they lose more customers.

This store was previously a bowling alley and they’ve kept up the theme and even some of the lanes as the flooring in the checkout lines. Good place for inexpensive wine and cheeses. They also often carry dolmas in can which are a fun appetizer addition at a party. Usually the bananas I get here go straight from green to brown and their fruit selection has some of the basics but not the best quality. They almost always have a pretty interesting selection of beverages and snacks for a decent price.

I like the store and have been going since it opened, the staff there was remarkable and being disabled that makes my life so much better. However I haven’t gone in awhile due to illness and there appears to be all new staff and they have no training on how to handle service animals.
One staffer just had to tell me how dogs don’t belong in the store, the other staffers were touching my dog while I was trying to pay for my items. I struggled with this for a few days now and I decided to call the manager and explain what happened and his response to me was it is my responsibility to train his staff about service dogs.
I was floored; it’s the law! You may not interfere with a dog and it’s duties, this includes calling the dog, reaching for the dog, whistling, any thing that would be considered trying to interfere with its duties. I don’t mind if people want to pet her I mind if they don’t ask.
It’s unfortunate but I won’t be going back; as my dog takes care I me I also need to take care of her. {sigh}

Great G.O. Big, bright clean. Well stocked shelves. My best buy today a Sara Lee Pumpkin Cheesecake for $ 3.99!!! As always check your sell by dates on all products.

Lots of great items for great deals and SUPER cheap wines!!!

This is my go to store for bacon, wine, beer, ham and fruits. The store is clean, cheap and the staffs are friendly at this location. Give them a try if you live in Renton Highland area. They just opened another location on Skyway but I have not been to that loaction. I have been to this store many many times but just now decided to Unilocal about them. Keep it up Sunset Grocery outlet.

I’ve been going to Seattle area grocery outlets for years and years and this is the one store that breaks from the moniker, «Gross Out.» The major problems that people complain about regarding other stores seem to be missing from this one. There is not a perpetual hive of fruit flies, for example. You won’t find a block of cheese that expired 18 months ago. The parking lot has actual cart corrals and the customers actually use them! I think someone dusts the wine bottles. You guys better watch it, or the Grocery Outlet big wigs are going to come down on you for raising their standards too much. Granted, none of us have high expectations when going to a discount grocer, but this place exceeds most regular grocery stores (Notably, the Safeway next door).
As others have said, there’s tons of wine, but they also seem to stock more beer than other Grocery Outlets, including some amazing deals. If the owners are reading this, more beer please! I’m not sure if you guys have a beer person on staff, but unpasteurized beer at 7.5% or more ABV ages in the bottle much like wine. If it’s 10%, it’s usually not even drinkable for 2 years. So don’t be afraid to buy big old stocks of Imperials and promote the bottling year on your signs. This is probably why you’ve noticed mysterious, large, bearded men looking at the bottoms of all your bottles and sneakily filling up shopping carts of 2-​year-​old bombers.
I kinda feel like I just gave out a big secret. Right now, they’ve got a 10%, 2-​year-​old barleywine for under $ 5 a bomber. If you’re into massively hoppy barleywines, go there now.
Anyway, if you’re a frequent Whole Food shopper, go here to experience anger at how much you’ve been spending on organic staples. For example, agave nectar and those Newman O’s. Last time, I was tempted to buy out their entire supply of almond butter, because it’s the same thing at half the price.

I stop by this place once a month for frozen food, canned food, and snacks because their prices are either grocery store sale price or cheaper.
For example:
Jello brand chocolate pudding cup with mousse on top retail sales price $ 2.00 — $ 2.50. I got for $.50 (It expired in a week and half)
Bertolli’s pasta meal in a bag retails sales price $ 5.00−5.99. I got for $ 1.50 (sell by date was in a week)
These are the deals I got my last shopping trip.
They do have a small fresh meat section but I think it’s overpriced (go across the street to Viet Wah super cheap meat and veggies) If it wasn’t for the slightly overpriced fresh foods I would give it 5 stars.
I love this place. If you live nearby you should give this place a try.

I haven’t met a GroceOut I haven’t liked. And this is no exception. Clean, well-​lit, well-​staffed and reliably great prices. It’s not your average grocery store, so they won’t carry all the main brands and flavors/​varieties, but that’s not why you go to GroceOut. GroceOut is great for trying something new (aka. impulse grocery buy) or getting a steal on produce intended for immediate use.
This location does well by stocking a surprising selection of organic foods and Haagen-​Dazs.
And they have wine tastings! Fantastic.

I usually shop at GO by where I live in Everett. I work in Renton and needed to grab a few things on my lunch break. This is by far the nicest and cleanest one I have ever been to. Granted it was new, but still. Everything was so clean and organized. You can snag some awesome bar gins here especially on organic and all natural items. The wine selection at this location is HUGE. I was pretty impressed. You can’t get everything you might need at GO and the inventory is always changing, but you can pick up most items here.
The clientele can be a bit sketchy just because it is the highlands, but hey, can’t win them all. I thought that it was cute the way the left some of the old bowling alley elements in there.
