Grocery Outlet

I’ve liked this Grocery Outlet since I first stepped foot in it the past few years. Unfortunately it’s fallen just a tad short of ‘destination’ status as I used to only stop here when I’m in the area, which isn’t a lot. But since I’ve written off the one downtown, this one is now officially my go-​to Grocery Outlet.
When you step foot inside, it feels so welcoming. The store is light and airy, with the aisles properly spaced and easily navigable.
They consistently have the best price on Crystal Geyser water ($ 0.89 + CRV. Other stores may have it cheaper on sale, but not 100% of the time.)
Beer selection is very good. They usually have some specialty or other from Speakeasy and New Belgium, and I’ve seen Oskar Blues Double IPA cans for 99 cents. Also specialty six packs such as Anchor Steam Meyer Lemon for $ 6.99.
Their chips and hummus selection are second to none. I got Blue Corn Curls for 99 cents a bag and a 25 oz tub of Sabra Carmelized Onion & Toasted Paprika Hummus (How does Grocery Outlet get all these obscure flavors?) for 99 cents!!! Of course the expiration date was a couple days away, but you have to check these kinds of thing. It was fine for me as we go through that much hummus in one day. They also have some gourmet foods here like Pacific Smoked Salmon and Luke’s Gluten Free Crackers.
Staff is very friendly, they even comment on some of the interesting things that customers find here. After fleeing the downtown location in horror, this one is a breath of fresh air.

I have been shopping here for a while and am never disappointed. The staff is super friendly and helpful, specifically Nelly, Jerome and Joe. I had the pleasure of meeting the owner, Pam, and she was also so pleasant. The store is always immaculate, organized, prices on everything and no old produce or products. I love the organic selection, the wine and cheese. I highly recommend shopping here!

check expiration dates

every single time we went here, the food was always expired. The employees look like their high, and they always give me a PUNK-​smirk when ever we walked in. Just go to Lucky, this place deserves 0 stars.

Nothing really particular about this specific Grocery Outlet but still, it’s a saver’s market.
Plus +
Great wine selection (and yes, they carry beer as well).
Plenty of parking spaces
Their milk is ALWAYs cheaper than other supermarkets
In fact, their whole dairy section is awesome
Minus —
Forget their meat section, because there is basically no selection
Lack of cashiers to start a new line
They don’t accept Discover card

Came through today and bought some real winners.
Kerrygold Ballyshannon Cheddar — tart creaminess that was the foundation for some righteous macaroni and cheese. I might be back to get another brick tomorrow as they have the Ballyshannon and Dubliner right now.
Steve’s Ice Cream: Salty Caramel —. Look this brand up — normally these ice creams retail for ~$ 10 per pint, and here I’ve seen it for $ 2.99. microphone dropped.
I’ll also add that my wait time in line was like 3 minutes thanks to the great staff and number of cashiers available!

This review is for the wine section only.
I’ve never been to a Grocery Outlet before, but I heard good things about their low prices on wine so I decided to check it out. The first thing I noticed was that they had a better selection of wines than I was expecting. Reds, whites, boxed, you name it they had it. I decided to get a variety of wines to try for a dinner party I was throwing; I got some cheap wines and some more expensive ones, about seven or eight bottles total. I got all those bottles for only $ 68.50! I sampled most of them at dinner and found that I liked a majority of the brands, except for one which tasted like vinegar. The service was excellent at this Grocery Outlet, they packed the wine into cases so it wouldn’t break and the checkout was quick and painless. I have no idea how the food is here, but the wine selection has convinced me to at least do one grocery shop here in the future. Will come back with an update soon!

Nathan was rude I was standing in line in front of one other person in front of his check stand. As I’m waiting he tells this lady to put the closed sign on top. I’m like uhm are you closed or you going to ring me up. He’s like I’m closed… Wooooow so I’m standing here waiting in line and he wouldn’t even ring me up. Btw I only had four items. So I had to go stand in line AGAIN fortunately my checker was friendly and nice. Thanks for the hospitality Jerome it’s very much appreciated.

There were no ginger, only one type of packed garlic and no condensed milk. The store had a little bit of something. If you know the store well and know what is in it, you can shop here. If you need many things to cook and fresh produce, this store doesn’t have many to shop.

Another great shopping experience here. G.O. always has new name brand products at great costs. Best part of today’s visit was the checker Gerome Austin. This guy was adorable. Genuinely friendly and very opposite to the typical mute or robotic checkers I’m used to. Most checkers have the «fml type attitude». He was very pleasant. I hope his manager knows he’s awesome and made me and my bf smile. We both walked out like wow. :)

This is soo random from the rest of these reviews… BUT today My Boyfriend and I came to this location and we got everything we wanted Plus an excellent customer service !! Think of a place where they give you 100%? none !! And this is a very affordable grocery outlet ! Full cart was $ 67! Drinks and food !!

After our incident at Wal Mart, I decided to give them a chance and I was more than satisfied. Obviously I went on a slow day at non peak hours, but it was a random decision as well as the right one. The store is clean well lit and well ventilated. Their selection was perfect for my current needs. I bought 5 bananas, 4 Fuji apples, and a loaf of Whole wheat bread for a total cost of $ 4.49. If I paid too much I don’t care. I wasn’t bothered by pan handlers, people trying to sell stuff out front, and wasn’t harassed by transients. The service & selection was excellent and our next test will be stocking up on everything. We recommend this location!

If you have been to another Grocery Outlet — this experience will be different!
This location had a very large and fully stocked store. It was clean and the entire staff was very kind, friendly, and helpful. So absolutely hit this store first!
They have meats, produce, organic milk, breads, and a very large freezer section. Seasonal items, max packs, and floral items are also available as well as items for pets. Prices are discounted and I found the expiration dates to be better then other discounts stores I have tried. Items such as coconut milk that are high priced at chain grocery stores are a steal! I also noticed a wine and beer area with featured wines displayed so a great place to try out something new.
Parking lot is private, shopping carts were easy to retrieve, isles were spacious, and there is a clean and easy to find restroom.
*If you see something you want do not hesitate to purchase it — some items such as cleaning and beauty products, seasonal items, and close outs are limited and sell quickly. Other items such as meat, breads, produce, and dairy are typically the same.

GROCERY OUTLET BARGAIN MARKET!!! ~
I love this store. Its clean and you save a lot of money when you buy your groceries here. I love their cheeses and meats. Those items are usually expensive in places like Luckys. Other great buys here too! Totally recommend coming here.

This is the classiest grocery outlet in San Jose. They have a lot of packaged items that are usually only found at Whole Foods, but always remember to check the expiration dates. They have large bags of ends-​and-​pieces bacon, salami, and peperoni that are great for cooking. The wine selection is hit or miss depending on the week but you can sometimes frind 90+ point wines for under $ 10; which is a total steal. The beer selection is hit or miss but is usually over-​priced either way. It’s a great place for grocery shopping if you have some extra time and feel like treasure hunting.

This place has a lot of good deals. Be cautious though! Not everything here is fresh. Always check the expiration date on the food. They don’t have a super huge variety, but the prices are pretty great!

Grocery Outlet didn’t have much of what i was looking for.
found «smoking loon», pinot noir (4.49)
–tasted strong or tart? not smooth
4 stars for having lots of parking
shoppers here lack manners…

If I could give this place a 10 I would! I buy so much stuff here for half the price I would pay when I used to totally shop at Safeway. They have all kinds of stuff here that you can find at Whole Foods and have organic stuff sometimes too! Just look for the dates cause sometimes things expire after only a few days after you buy it — not a big deal. Staff is friendly too. I LOVE this place! Its a heaven sent!!!

This is a place to find bargains on food! Hosting a party? This place is the place to go to complete your party menu. This is my favorite Grocery Outlet in the area.
Note: Look for the expiration dates :).

If you go before 11AM on a Saturday, at least from my experience, the place is deserted! It’s perfect to shop when it’s a ghost town because you get to look and try and compare prices in your head w/​o feeling like you are rude for just standing there.
I will say this though that there meat and poultry section is small. I did not see chicken breasts but for the usual: milk, chips, fruit juice, eggs, bread, frozen food. even household items like detergent, it is much cheaper than Walmart.
I bought detergent, stuff for the kids, and the ingredients to make chicken curry pizza on whole wheat pitas and ingredients to make «Tram’s» version of poutine fries cost me $ 32. BTW if you are wondering, I baked potato wedges (instead of frying the potatoes) and used goat cheese instead of cheese curds for my poutine. Since I love runny eggs, I added that and green onions then topped the dish off w/​chicken gravy… it was magically delicious!
